Find lost data in my docs, previous versions, Word 2002
Slight repeat --I forgot to include the version of Word (2002). I typed some
meeting notes 10 days ago, but when I opened the doc, it was a few letters and symbols at the top of each page. It shows as being the right size, but I don't know how to recover the original doc. -- J.M. Wetherell |

Find lost data in my docs, previous versions, Word 2002
Don't save what you see!
Open Word. Then use File Open. In this dialog look at the type of file. You want it to say Word documents. Set it so it says this, then try opening your file. Check under Tools Options Save. If the option to always save a backup is not checked, check it now. If it is already checked and the earlier ideas didn't help, write back and I'll tell you how to find the backup. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

Find lost data in my docs, previous versions, Word 2002
I tried this, and it did not do the trick. I located a backup file for the
document, but it says the same thing. I did not imagine the minutes I took, but am stymied. I checked, and I do have the box labeled "always make a backup" checked. -- J.M.
