Not unless Word has been saving backup copies automatically. Check Tools -
Options - Save and see if Always Create Backup Copy is enabled; if it is, then look file files matching *.wbk (in earlier versions of Word, the extension for backup copies of doc files was different). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Unless Herb's suggestion comes up with the goods, you may find
