restoring a file to a previously saved time
If the document has not been closed, you can use undo to remove edits made
in that session. If you have saved the document and closed it, then the only possibilities of recovery are from your automatic backup - or from your routine backup. If you have not bothered with either then you could scan a printed copy. Otherwise you will have to retype it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org James wrote: I am trying to restore a file to a previously saved time before major changes were made, without any luck.

Would restting your system clock to the date time you wish to save it, then
restoring the clock afterwards do the trick? "Graham Mayor" wrote: If the document has not been closed, you can use undo to remove edits made in that session.

restoring a file to a previously saved time
On re-reading your questions, is this simply a date field showing the wrong
date? If so, the reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows the system date. What you need to do is change those date fields for createdate fields - ALT+F9 change {DATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}or {TIME \@ "d MMM yyyy"} to {CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"} then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the date in your letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the correct dates. The switches \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your location. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul Hammond wrote: Would restting your system clock to the date time you wish to save it, then restoring the clock afterwards do the trick?
