Hello,

I have a document that was created in Office 2000. The
document was set up and formatted in English. Because of
the unusual page set up I did a "save as" of this document
to create the French version. I had 2
documents "Invitation English" and "Invitation French". I
made changes to the French document. Later I found that
these changes made their way into the English document.
Any idea how this could happen?
 
Hi Marg,

The most obvious explanation would be that both documents
share files via IncludeText fields, so that changes you make
in the one (and send back to the original file via
Ctrl+Shift+F7, for example) are appearing in the other.
