Retrieve document that was closed as Document 1?
I had a three page Word document still titled as Document 1 that I accidently
closed before remembering I wanted to keep the first page. I had not saved the document before closing so if I select a Word document again I will get Document 1 but it will be blank. Is there any way I can retrieve this document? Frank C. |

If you didn't save it there's nothing to recover.

If you're using Word 2010 then you should be able to recover a good portion
of the document, if not all of the content you wanted to keep with the new Recover Unsaved Versions feature. If the file was never previously saved (which it sounds like it wasn't), click the File Tab and at the bottom of the Recent Documents list, click "Recover unsaved documents." You may need to open a few unsaved documents to find the one you are looking for. If it was previously saved, reopen the last saved version of the document, click the File Tab and then on the Info tab you'll find the ability to open the last autosaved version in the Versions section. If you aren't using Word 2010 then as Graham noted, unfortunately you're out of luck. ~Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP "Frank C." wrote in message ...

Interesting - however for those without 2010 and a little money to spend,
Undelete Professional 2009 offers the same sort of function for earlier Word versions by storing all the deleted autorecovery files (and everything else you delete whether by accident of design) - though of course only from the time you install this software and in the case of autorecovery, you do have to have that function switched on. The first time you lose an important document it will pay for itself. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Beth Melton" wrote in message ...
