Under System 7, if you open an Excel 2.2 document or text file with Excel
3.0, then Save, the Save dialog box opens automatically to the folder where
the Excel application resides. According to Microsoft, this is a feature
because the file is "new" (converted). The original document, in a
different folder, is not overwritten.
If you later open the original document, you might think your changes were
never saved.
Here are two workarounds:
- Before saving, navigate back to the original folder and replace the
old file.
- Keep Excel 3.0 and your Excel documents in the same folder.
