Word bug fix: Documents with # or capital letters in the name were deleted
Users noticed that since early October 2024, modified Word documents were deleted when the application was closed. The following conditions had to be met for this to happen:
Word is closed via the close button without first saving a modified document. And the user confirms that the file should be saved.
The file contains the # character in the file name or an uppercase letter in the file name extension.
If the conditions are met, the document file is moved to the recycle bin. The problem with this approach is that there is no recycle bin for certain shared folders and the document files are gone.
