I have mistakenly deleted a document I need from Microsoft Word 2002. Can I
restore it?

Probably not, unless you had backups turned on. Look in the folder where the
document was stored... look for documents named "Backup of {deleted
filename].DOC".

Ooops. I'll be you've got it on now!

On occasion, it's possible to recover parts of documents from leftover
temporary files. Some utilities can also recover deleted files. In my
experience, I've found neither approach fully or predictably reliable, and
only worth pursuing if the lost information is irreplaceable.

"Automatically create backup copy" on the Save tab of Tools | Options. But
read http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/AutomaticSave.htm first so that your
expectations are not unreasonable.

If the document had been saved, you can probably recover all (or some) of it
using a file undelete utility of which there are many to be found for
download - some free some not. Try Google.

Here's a roundup of some freeware undelete tools which can be used to
recovery delete files:

Hope this helps,

Thank you. I did this but still couldn't retrieve it. The software and the
backup should help in the future though.

This question isn't about Office, but does anyone have any idea why my
computer freezes when I insert a CD into the CD drive?

Documents don't actually Delete like we think A ? mark replaces the first
letter in the filename and Windows won't recognize it as a name. So the
MyFile.doc is renamed ?yFile.doc. Find that and you'll find your file. Then
change the first letter back to what it really was. Hopefully you haven't
ran defrag since that will wipe those files out because Defrag won't see
them.

Hi,

Actually Active@ Undelete can do the trick. It has great recover
methods, so it is imho your best chance to restored erased data.
http://www.active-undelete.com

I recommend that you use DataRecoveryWizard to recover your data.
The software provides very useful functions for data recovery:
DeleteRecovery, FormatRecovery, AdvancedRecovery, RawRecovery.

This program is an efficient disk recovery software providing
you a complete answer to data loss.

First thing I recommend you download the demo version of
DataRecoveryWizard. (http://www.easeus.com/download.htm)

Run the program and select the recovery mode "DeletedRecovery",
or "FormatRecovery", or "AdvancedRecovery".
