It's always worked for me. Of course it's confusing for users, sometimes a message close will prompt to save changes when no changes were apparently made such as viewing a PDF attachment. I get that all the time.

Carl From: Roger Wright [mailto:rhw...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 4:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Editing Office Files from Outlook I occasionally have users who receive Word or Excel attachments, open them, make edits, and save, only to discover all their changes are lost when they reopen the attachment. The problem is, sometimes opening and editing within Outlook sometimes works, but most often, not. I've explained several times that the best way to avoid this is to first save the attachment elsewhere and THEN open it for editing. Why is it that sometimes they're able to make the edits without difficulty and others, all changes are lost? Is it that when it does work it's only due to an anomaly and is an unsupported feature?
