Word 2003 "save as" issue

[Guest]

I have a large Word file (converted from a .pdf by a conversion software
program). When I make changes to the file, then "save as" the new document
shows up as just a few KB (if I view details) and in the General tab of
Properties, it shows the original filename (instead of what it was renamed
to). I can open the new document and it appears to be as it should, but
apparently it is just a link to the original, and the original gets
overwritten with any changes even though I did a "save as" versus just "save".

It sounds as though you have inserted a linked object. Press ALT+F9 and see
if it changes to a field code. If it does, then select the field and press
CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to fix the content in the document.

It didn't show the field codes when I did that. I'm stumped. Thanks though.

Just discovered the exact same problem. No idea. It's a very
destructive situation.
