lost document
I was working on a response for my PhD paper in word, I saved multiple times
throughout the work. When I close the document, it did not give any indication through warnngs etc that I needed to save again, plus I received no warnings when trying to save the doc throughout the day....I closed the operation, got home and it is gone.....please help me....I spent hours working on it but have no idea where it has gone...doesnt the software save a ghost copy somewhere? |

If you were saving it multiple times, then most likely it got saved in a
folder other than the one you expected. Do a search of your default hard disk for the name of your doc file. -- TedMi "dcalland" wrote: I was working on a response for my PhD paper in word, I saved multiple times throughout the work.

Was this something you emailed back and forth to yourself?

Yes....I even did a 'search' with a word 'annotated' and it came back with
nothing....I had left the document up on my computer screen overnight, I had 18 pages on the screen at the bottom of the document showing....I saved it and emailed it to myself, but all of the work I had done in adding to the origninal 8 pages was not part of the document - I even went back to my work computer to see if it was there.....this has been devastating.

If you opened the attachment directly instead of saving it to your HD
first, then every time you saved you were saving it to a temp folder, from which it was deleted when you quit Word or your mail client. -- Suzanne S.
