How do I recover an usaved word document
If the document was never saved to the hard drive, then there is
nothing to recover from the hard drive. dennis wrote: My wife did not save a word document. I would like to know if it is recoverable from my hard drive. |

How do I recover an usaved word document
In theory some residual image of some of the temp file might be lurking
somewhere, but it would take a lot of technical expertise to retrieve any of it. In other words, no. "dennis" wrote in message ... My wife did not save a word document. I would like to know if it is recoverable from my hard drive. |

How do I recover an usaved word document
Perhaps she did not tell me what she did, but I am assuming she did not click
save when the prompt box came up.The file was found, after going through Windows Explorer, there was as unusual document in the Recyle bin, with an ASD file code to it. It turned out to be the message.Perhaps because the computer was not shut down it was there, but there were other files populated there as well. So the reality of it is , the file can actually be found, and you don't necessarily need to be a techie to find it....I was lucky this time "dennis" wrote: My wife did not save a word document.

How do I recover an usaved word document
An .asd file is an AutoRecovery Backup. These exist (though usually not in
the Recycle Bin) as long as Word is open (assuming that the backup option is enabled). The sole purpose of these backup files is to restore the document if anything untoward happens and Word is not shut down properly. Perhaps your wife had such a problem and was flustered when Word restarted and presented her with the backup? -- Suzanne S.
