Can I get to autorecover files I have not saved?
I had a crash and when I opened word again I had three versions of the file I
was working on to choose for saving. I have saved the wrong file in Autorecover and closed word. Can I get back into autorecover somehow to save the correct version of the file??? |

Probably not. When you close Word in that scenario, Word usually prompts
asking if it's okay to delete the auto-recovered files... and I'm assuming that you okay'd that action... in which case, those autorecovered files were deleted. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jack" wrote in message ...

Although... if you're running Vista Ultimate (maybe Vista Business, as
well--I'm not sure) you can sometimes recover previous versions of files. If so... then in Windows Explorer, right click the file in question, choose Properties, previous versions tab, to see if Windows has a shadow copy that is "better" than the version you saved. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Jay and Herb, thanks for your replies. Guess I just need to redo the report.
