I bought and downloaded the 2021 Office and opened Word - I don't even recognize the tool bars - now have to click on SAVE under file to even save a file you are working on.


But that is a VERY SMALL PROBLEM COMPARED TO WHAT HAPPENED.


I have been working on a book for a long time - have over 100,000 words and a ton of PICTURES. Did some work and saved the file - to the "CLOUD" - and closed the file. When I went back to the ALL OF THE PICTURES ARE GONE!!!!!


Luckily, I had another copy BUT I AM AFRAID TO OPEN IT AND THEN SAVE AS IT MAY ALSO LOSE MY PICTURES.


Have used older copies of WORD for years - NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.



What gives and ANY SUGGESTIONS? I am afraid to use anything in MY NEW OFFICE at this time. - jb
