accidentaly i saved over one of my files, can this be undone?
As I said, by mistake I overwrote a document, I have no backups or older versions of this file, does the program automaticaly crate recovery files or the original document is lost for good? |

Hi Matias,
In Word there is no option to get the older data(before overwritten) after you saved the document. But you can use the "System Restore" option in Start- Programs- Accessories- System Tools- System Restore. System Restore is an default Windows BackUp, If you set any System restore point then the Windows will automatically perform the backup of files or datas at that particular time. If you set the system restore point in your system then only you can get the older data's or files. But before you select the System restore option, Have you activated any system restore point for your system? Thank you, Saravanan ---- -- ---- "Matias" wrote: As I said, by mistake I overwrote a document, I have no backups or older versions of this file, does the program automaticaly crate recovery files or the original document is lost for good? |

System restore does *not* restore data files such as Word documents! However
I believe the Vista operating system has a slightly more intelligent type of backup system and that *may* hold a solution. Otherwise, if you saved over a document, it is gone, unless you have the budget for expensive data recovery which (may) be able to recover your document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Saravanan wrote: Hi Matias, In Word there is no option to get the older data(before overwritten) after you saved the document.
