He said that he did save the work.  He said that he was finished and was doing
a Save As... with Fast Save turned off to save some disk space.  What Word
did was to delete his old copy, and try to re-save the file over again.  This
was not his fault, it was definitely wither Word's or MultiFinder's fault.
