Is there anyway to retrieve information that was 'lost' from the clipboard
when Word was opened? I copied my entire text, and without saving it first under another name, I cut it. I then opened the previous version of the document and before thinking about it, copied a small section of the text. Now, that is the only text listed on the clipboard. I worked really hard on this 'lost' document. Can I get it back? p.s. I don't have admin. access to change systems as this is my work computer. |

If the original document that you cut the text from is still open, you
can click Undo to put it back. If you closed that document, I'm sorry, but that text is gone permanently -- unless you had stored a backup file somewhere. It's a hard way to learn a lesson, but in the future, never cut more than a few words. Use "copy" instead, paste it where you want it, and then go back and delete the original. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
