Hi Musicoz,
Yes, it's quite simple, really. All you need to do is to reload the document from the backups you've kept as a safeguard against just such an occurence. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "THE GREAT AMERICAN HEART HOAX byDr.Ozner" THE GREAT AMERICAN HEART HOAX wrote in message ...

If you deleted it normally it will be in the recycle bin.

That's happened to me too many times to count ! Nothing ever seems to wind up in my recycle bin unless it's something stored on my C drive, as opposed to being stored on a network server. |

For most people, once would be enough!! If you're making a habit of this, the sys admin should take away your keyboard ... -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Jan Groshan" wrote in message ...

Your letter should be there -- RIGHT click on the document you want to retrieve; a window will open with choices, choose RESTORE. Close the recycle bin and go on your merry way. |

Not actually a habit. Just so busy at work that sometimes I just click the
wrong button, or save over an older document....that's even worse, it's totally not retrievable. Hmmm.....I'm 64. Maybe it's time to retire....but then what would I do all day?

Jan
If you are using a letter to create a similar letter, you have two options. The first is that if this is recurring frequently, you should create a template to use. If it is only occasionally that you need to send an almost duplicate letter, then use the Open as a Copy which you will find if you click the tiny arrow attached to the OPEN button in the File Open dialog. Then when you save the new letter, you will be prompted to assign a new name. There are tutorials on creating your own template - which should be quite simple for a letter - here under Using Templates: http://word.mvps.org/Tutorials/index.htm -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Jan Groshan" wrote in message ...

Thanks Terry. Didn't know about that "open as a copy" trick. Thing is, if I
click on a document to open in the directory it just takes one click for it to open automatically, not givingme a chance to click the "open as a copy" arrow.....and yes, I know I can change the one click option, but I'm lazy. To tell the truth, saving over has yet to create a problem for me because there's always a hard copy in the file, and if worse came to worse I could always scan the hard copy. It's really not a problem, I was just commenting on the original post. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Jan If you are using a letter to create a similar letter, you have two options.

Try this instead: Right-click and choose New. The document will then
function as a template. In recent versions you'll get an error message that "The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open," but when you close the Open dialog box, you get the new document. You can also do this (without error message) from Windows Explorer. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2003 (and perhaps 2002) have an option in the New Document task pane to
create a new document "From existing document...," but that seems cumbersome to me. You have to get the task pane open and then navigate to the document; if you've already located the document, New is simpler. OTOH, the task pane does at least start from the currently active folder. -- Suzanne S.
