How do I restore saved file my wife killed?!
I was working on a Word document and had just saved it moments before my
wife, in a moment of pique, pushed the power button to shut down the computer. Now I'm trying to open the document...that I had SAVED...but getting the following message: "Word cannot open the document. Try one or more of the following: *On the file menu, click Open to open the document. *Make sure the document has a .DOC extension" I've tried both of these with the same result. It does have a DOC extension. I was able to open it in wordpad, but I'm only getting an earlier version of it, without any of today's additions. This is a very important document to me, please help v.v |

Use the version that you can open in Wordpad - save it from there, then open
in Word and redo the changes. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org GaoYuQing wrote: none of those ideas work for me. most of them only can be used if you can get any sort of file open. i cant get the file open in first place. the couple suggestions for that didnt work either v.v "Graham Mayor" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org GaoYuQing wrote: I was working on a Word document and had just saved it moments before my wife, in a moment of pique, pushed the power button to shut down the computer.

tried that, no dice. document refuses to be opened in word. now, i did copy
and paste what it did have into a new word document, but all the changes i had made yesterday were lost, and not even visible in the wordpad version, and those are the things i was hoping to try and recover.
