Default Lost A Document

You could search for autorecover files (*.asd) in Windows Explorer, but
these are usually deleted unless Word crashed. For future use, you can
download an add-in that saves backups, automatically if you wish. Seehttp://www.gmayor.com/Zips/SaveReminder.zip.

Word 2010 works a bit differently, as it retains autorecovery files for an
unsaved document even if Word exits normally. However, saving manually (or
using the add-in), is recommended even in that version.

Have you tried searching for the document in Windows?

I use Word m2002.


I have lost a document on my pc. Look as I may, I cannot find it. It
was *created over the last few days. Has anyone any idea where it
might be.


I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit.


Thanks


Yes, but no luck.

I thought that I saved the file, but I can't find it.

If for some reason the file was not saved, is there a record somewhere?


Thank you, I'll look for any asd files. I assume that the extension
means auto saved documents.

I'll also have a look at the link.

Best wishes.
