Saving changes from multiple authors.

My 2010 Word document is in a share drive. Another author has been editing it at the same time as I have. When I attempt to save my changes, I get a "compatibility check" message that says "The following features on this document will be removed when it is saved to a new location" Then it lists the "features:"

"All information on where other authors are editing on this document will be permanently removed." The message says 74 such instances will be permanently removed.

I am of course reluctant to save the document without knowing what that information is and actually what's going on --- anyone out there who can help? Thanks.

    Hello,

    What is the extension of the file you’re trying to open?

    You may try to save the document locally in the Computer then check how it works.

    You may also run the Compatibility check on the document and verify the status. To do so, click on ‘File’ > Info > Check for Issues > click on ‘Check Compatibility’.

    Let us know the result to assist you further.

    Thank you.
