I dl'd Everything and found his resume, and it showed two files of the

I had an issue once where I had the same thing. It turned
out that one had a space on the end. Took me forever to
figure it out


That might have been it. My brother actually watched a tv show for an
hour when I could have worked on this, but even though the list was in
front of me, only 8 or so files with his name in the name, I didn't
notice until he got back.

OTOH, the names were the same length and any space would have to have
been on the tail end, like in your case. But it ended in .docx. My
brother woudln't have known how to change that even if he wanted to.

Hmm. He probably didn't even want to keep an old version, and even
though of course he's saved changes by himself before, he almost needed
my help to save some changes (made later, that I omitted from the
story). Could he have clicked on Save As and added a space at the end?
He would have had to type "docx " and he doesn't know anything about
docx. BTW, he doesn't like computers, but ironically, he's a
radiologist and now uses 2 at the same time, one to display images and
one to write reports.


Neil, I didn't specifically look for upper vs. lower case, but I looked
closely and I think I would have noticed it were there.
