A user has a problem with her Excel file where changes are not saved (or seem to be anyway) even though she has "checked it in" ...

"... OK, I now see the checkout option.

So I checked it out, then I had to select edit,

I made a change and saved and closed. It didn’t ask if I wanted to check it in.

I selected check in and entered the comment “test”

It’s now showing checked it BUT the change I made is not captured. That is, it didn’t process my update!"

Any ideas... I think it is only for this user which is also a member of our "Sharepoint Contributors" AD group. No one else has this problem.

Thoughts?

Does the library have content approval selected? It might be that the document needs to published before the changes show.
