Excel won't open the original document!!!
I need some help here.
At work, I need to use an excel sheet and I realized to my horror (weirdly enough I was the first to notice) that if you opened the excel sheet in "my recent documents", it would open the document with a small "1" after its original name, but not the actual document. Apparently no one before me had noticed the small number after the file name, and had gone on saving half a dozen different excel sheets when there should be only one! I deleted all the files that weren't my original one but when I went to "my recent documents" it would restore that deleted file if I double-clicked on it. None of this happens if I open the file in Excel. First I thought that maybe I had saved my document as a template, but that wasn't so, neither is it a read-only. Yet each time I want to open MY document in "my recent documents", Excel (and only Excel) opens a copy of the document and not the real document. If this copy of my document is open, and I select the file again from "my recent documents", it will open yet ANOTHER copy of the document. I have no idea what the problem could be...does anyone here? |
