Documents with hundreds of pages and multiple heading levels are particularly difficult to manage in Word. * Edit - quick query Marcel.For many, creating and fixing multilevel lists in MS Word is a nightmare. If you get any solutions, workarounds or clues to the issue I'd be obliged if you could post them: Lost And if we're experiencing this problem then our sister campuses (8 more - we support 3 universities) will be experiencing exactly the same as their setup mirrors ours closely. Weeks users return and we'd expect traffic of upwards of 2,000 per day. I've had four cases in the last month and suspect there were more earlier that were misdiagnosed but we've only had up to 30 or so students using the library during the summer break. Massive problems if it's repeated when the students return. I've had no solution to this and can find no information online. Second, users automatically connect to OneDrive (although they rarely use it) and although the files are not stored there, I wonder if one of the synchronisation I suspect a couple of things: first, Word 'manage versions' is rolling back randomly. Page we found a deleted copy at 13:00 with +1 page, 14:00 with +2, etc., yet Word seemed to revert all changes back to the original on exit.

I'm very experienced recovering lost documents and have found no file fragments or autorecovery files. User goes to edit document later (same machine or different), all changes rolled back.User works on document (often at a later date).We assumed this was a USB issue as these are the cases that have been reported to us, but you example is so close to ours but on a hard drive that I'm inclined to think that it may be more widespread than first thought. Students have been coming into the library at the university where I work and editing their dissertations, returning the following day and finding all changes have been rolled back. We've been experiencing similar problems this summer. What is reason that the changes in my doc-files have disappeared? Of course: I should have saved it directly in the cloud, but unfortunatly I didn't.
On my PC I save the document on a WD My Cloud Mirror. On my laptop I saved my document under /documents.
That was the document I made at first!īoth my laptop and PC runs on WIndows 10. In both cases the date is set on 2-25-2018. I opened my e-mailbox to restore the document I made when it was 30 pages: and that file has also just 12 pages. Yesterday I came home and moved (not copied!) the document (now 50 pages) to an USB-stick and copied it to my harddrive. To be safe I sent the docment (now about 30 pages) after a few days with my gmail-account to my own mailbox. In the USA I made changes to this document almost daily. I copied this document to my laptop while travelling to the USA. I made a document in Word2016 (outlook365) on 2-25-2018 on my pc.
