Retriving lost documents in word
I'd like to tell you there is a way of retrieving the document you
saved over but unless you create backups, either in Tools/Options/Save or by another means there is nothing to recover. When you confirmed replacing the file content Word did just that - essentially it deleted the old document and created a new one with the same name to take its place. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email can not be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Kevin" wrote in message ...

Restore it from your last backup. If you don't have a backup, you didn't
really need the document anyway. "Kevin" wrote in message ... I was editing one of my word documents.
