Urgent.. (!)How can I recover word file"not responding" - and unsa
Hi - Situation as question:
(winXP, all updates and SP's; Word / Office 2000) - I have my computer still 'live' at the moment but must leave here shortly... Word has 'frozen' (message 'Not Responding') while a document is still visible on-screen - ( I was starting to save it and was creating a new folder to put it into) At present it is autonamed Document1. - It is possible to open another session of Word, which works normally, including 'save' function... Steps so far: I have taken a screenshot of the part of the file showing - which is just the file end... I have searched hard drive for 'new files created' with today's date - nothing. Have searched for 'copy...' filenames - nothing. Have searched for '~' in file names - nothing... Any ideas please??? Delighted if you can suggest some dump/some magic to get this back!! I really don't want to lose this information... Grayman |

Urgent.. (!)How can I recover word file"not responding" - and unsa
If you turn off the computer WITHOUT shutting Word down (as if you had a
power failure) then when you restart the computer, there is a good chance that an autorecover version of your document will be loaded (though it may not contain the most recent text additions/edits) -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
