a microsoft word bug may delete files with certain titles

Microsoft has acknowledged a bug in Word for Microsoft 365 that can cause files to be deleted when users attempt to save them. According to BleepingComputer, the Word for Microsoft 365 support team has confirmed this issue in version 2409.

The glitch occurs when a file is deleted after save if the title contains a capitalized file extension (.DOCX, .RTF) or #. Microsoft further clarified that “the issue happens after editing the file and saving when prompted while closing Word”.

Fortunately, the bug is specific to version 2409 and only affects files with capitalized file extensions. Additionally, it only occurs when you are prompted to save the document as you close the application, not when saving manually during editing.

Several users have reported encountering the bug on platforms such as Reddit and Microsoft forums. Until the issue is fully resolved, we’d recommend exercising caution when saving documents with capitalized extensions or avoid closing Word without saving manually.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
