the existing document and i accidently responded yes. Now when i go to
open
my document it comes up blank with zero characters. please tell me there
is a
way i can get it back, please


In the same folder is there a file with the same name but the extension
".wbk"? If there is, that's a backup copy of the file. Make a copy of it and
give the copy the ".doc" or whatever extension your original had.

If there isn't then you're out of luck. The file's gone forever.
