Can I recover old file after Copy & Replace ?
I was backing up my Word2007 files to a USB memory stick, and I accidently
copied the old versions of the files from the USB stick to the computer, rather than the other way around, so the old version of the files replaced the newer versions. Of course I recieved the warning that it would "replace" the version already on the computer, and I authorized it, not realizing yet what I had done. Can I get the prior versions of the Word files back? I assume those files are still on the C: drive somewhere, and the version I don't want was copied to it separately, using the same file name. I tried Undelete-Plus but it did not find the old files. |

Can I recover old file after Copy & Replace ?
If you're using Vista Ultimate or Business, there's a chance that the
previous version can be recovered. In Windows Explorer, right-click each file, and choose Properties. Click the Previous Versions tab to see if there are earlier versions still accessible. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "shaunda" wrote in message ...
