Previous version of a renamed document?
I had a document named Arthur Aug. 2006. I wanted to keep the same format and
set up the Sept. Version. Instead of opening the document and using "Save As" and creating the Sept. document, I changed the document name, erased the old information, added new, and hit save. Only then did I realize what I had done. I have lost my Aug. information. Is there a way that I can recover this information? |

Previous version of a renamed document?
If the document has not been closed since the ill-fated Save, you can use
Undo repeatedly to remove the changes and restore the old document contents. Unfortunately, if you closed the document, all the undo information has evaporated. If the "Always create backup copy" option is checked in Tools Options Save, you'll find a file named "Backup of document name.wbk" in the same folder. Depending on how many times you saved, that may or may not contain the old information. To prepare for the next time, see http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm. -- 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. may1234 wrote: I had a document named Arthur Aug. 2006.
