That is a really interesting fact but also extremely worrying. I'm sure that even with the warning most (all?) users assumed that if you stay within a format (e.g. always doc) you wouldn't have problems when saving your document. What you are saying is that when you press the Save button in a doc file (and you are not informed of this problem when you just Save it, only on Save As) there is a conversion that causes the document NOT to be saved as you are seeing it on-screen but could be something else completely different...

But when you are working within the same format, you assume that what is on screen is what is being saved!
