I use XP and Word 03. When I open the program I am trying to open a word
document that is listed as one of the last four recently opened (under the
New tab). However, the program tells me it cannot do so b/c it is damaged.
The problem is that if I hold the cursor over the title it tells me the
location (i.e., drive and folder). When I go to that location though, the
file is not there/visible. I have searched my entire computer using
Search
and that file's title cannot be found. I can't use the usual recover in
Word
because there's no file in the folder's window where it supposedly is
located
so is there another way I can retrieve the data in that word file?

thx in advance
