Saving files in Word 2016 on mac
I am using MS Word 2016 on an imac (OS 12.0.1).
When editing a document, Word sometimes changes the doc name to something like ~WRD0000.docx and saves it. The doc is apparently saved in a folder NSIRD_Word_rvi_zjc.
If I then save the doc (cmd S) without noticing the name change, Word saves the doc but when I exit Word and try to find the file, I cannot find it and the original file (before the name change) no longer exists.
Where does Word save the file and how can I prevent this name change or if I can't prevent the name change, can I save the doc somewhere I can find it?
