File replaced by another file while saving. Anyway to get back the first file?
I'm running Word 2003. I made a mistake. I created my first document
and saved it. My second file uses the same format so I just edit on the first file. But I forget to give a different name when saving. Now is there any way to get the first file back? I see there are a bunch of *.tmp file on the directory I saved the file. Anyway to open them up and see if I can get something back? |

I don't suppose you still have that document open? If you haven't closed it,
you can try doing multiple Undos until you can't do it any more. Then save it as the original name. If you have closed it, you're pretty much SOL. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "meth" wrote in message ... I'm running Word 2003. I made a mistake. I created my first document and saved it.

In Word 2002 and 2003, you have the additional option of creating a new
document based on another document; it is created as Document # and has to be named before saving (just like a new document based on a template), avoiding the possibility of saving the revised document over the original. -- Suzanne S.
