System restore does not affect data.
Where did you save the files? Were they opened from e-mail messages, in which case the changes are probably lost in the temporary file structure of your PC. Otherwise they are in the documents folder you saved them to. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org citygirl1 wrote: I had saved files in Word, and now they are lost.

Either you didn't save them where you thought (try a search with Windows
Explorer), or you have deleted them and they are in the recycle bin (or not, for which you'll need file recovery software to recover them). Your efforts at system restoration may have marred any chance of recovering deleted files. Maybe its time to think about backup regimes for the future? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org citygirl1 wrote: I saved the files in Word folder, but they are no where to be found.

Hello,
If the file was accidentally erased you can still restore it using data recovery tools such as Active@ Undelete or Uneraser(DOS). Their restore algorithm is migthy indeed, you will find that out yourself. http://www.active-undelete.com/ http://www.uneraser.com/ |
