Greg
If you open a document, edit the text and then forget to SaveAs but simply Save, you have physically overwritten the old document on the hard drive. So where can it be retrieved from?

Terry,
I think he knew that but this was an attempt to wind me up - a private joke. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org TF wrote: Greg If you open a document, edit the text and then forget to SaveAs but simply Save, you have physically overwritten the old document on the hard drive.

Terry,
Graham nailed it ;-) I didn't see the original question, just Graham's lonely "no." Sorry, I caused you to take the time to provide an explanation. |

No Probs: the question was a bit of a surprise!

No, not unless you've made some provision to back up the old version.
For example, if you had checked the option "Always create backup copy" in Tools Options Save, there would be a copy of the previous version in a file named "Backup of YourDoc.wbk" in the same folder. If that option wasn't checked, you could still get back the previous version *only if you haven't already closed the document* by clicking Undo to remove your changes. Once you close the document, though, the Undo memory is gone. See http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/AutomaticSave.htm for explanations of some other things you can do to prevent the same problem from happening again. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
