Lost Document
Hello all, I recently saved a document on Word 2003, onto a cdr disk. I even
took the time to make sure the data was on the disk. Now when I try to open the information from the cdr, it comes up in squares and very few letters. Basically it is unreadable, although it says read only. Can someone please help me with this? Thank You  |

You could try the Open and Repair option. But note that saving to
removable media is likely to corrupt a document sooner or later. It is best to save to your hard disk and then copy to removable media via Windows Explorer. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "In Need of Repair" wrote in message ...

Hello, and thank you... I saved it to my c drive first, (my documents) then
saved it to the cdr, i also saved it to a floppy disk. The document is coming up the same way when I open the cdr as well as the floppy. Unfortunately my son deleted the document (recycle bin). Is there another way I can possibly retrieve this document? Thank You "Stefan Blom" wrote: You could try the Open and Repair option.

If the Recycle Bin has been emptied, and you don't have a backup, then
I'd say that you are out of luck, unfortunately. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "In Need of Repair" wrote in message ... Hello, and thank you...
