I'm running a pentium 200mhz mmx processor with 64megs of RAM and a 2G hard drive. When I save somthing from word or excel, close it out and bring it back up again. The format I type it in has changed.It also happens when I save somthing to a floppy. I have checked for viruses, ran scandisk and a defrag. I still have the same problem.
thank you

Go to Tools | Options ... and select the "Save" tab. One of the options is "Save Word files as ... ". Select the format you want to you, and this will be the default.

Hope this helps.

Also the first time you save a file choose "save as" and ensure the file of type is in the same format in which you have typed the document.

Make sure that you are using the same printer driver that the document was created with. I had a problem recently where two people were opening the same document with two different printer drivers and getting different formatting.

Good Luck.
