Probably not, unless you had backups turned on. Look in the folder where the
document was stored... look for documents named "Backup of {deleted filename].DOC". -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "trisham" wrote in message ...

Is it in your Recycle Bin?

Ooops. I'll be you've got it on now!
On occasion, it's possible to recover parts of documents from leftover temporary files. Some utilities can also recover deleted files. In my experience, I've found neither approach fully or predictably reliable, and only worth pursuing if the lost information is irreplaceable. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "trisham" wrote in message ...

If the document had been saved, you can probably recover all (or some) of it
using a file undelete utility of which there are many to be found for download - some free some not.

Thank you. I did this but still couldn't retrieve it. The software and the
backup should help in the future though.

This question isn't about Office, but does anyone have any idea why my
computer freezes when I insert a CD into the CD drive? "trisham" wrote: Thank you. I did this but still couldn't retrieve it. The software and the backup should help in the future though.

Documents don't actually Delete like we think A ? mark replaces the first
letter in the filename and Windows won't recognize it as a name. So the MyFile.doc is renamed ?yFile.doc. Find that and you'll find your file. Then change the first letter back to what it really was. Hopefully you haven't ran defrag since that will wipe those files out because Defrag won't see them. "trisham" wrote: I have mistakenly deleted a document I need from Microsoft Word 2002.

I recommend that you use DataRecoveryWizard to recover your data.
The software provides very useful functions for data recovery: DeleteRecovery, FormatRecovery, AdvancedRecovery, RawRecovery. This program is an efficient disk recovery software providing you a complete answer to data loss. First thing I recommend you download the demo version of DataRecoveryWizard. (http://www.easeus.com/download.htm) Run the program and select the recovery mode "DeletedRecovery", or "FormatRecovery", or "AdvancedRecovery". See mo http://www.easeus.com http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...eted-files.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...-partition.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...-partition.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...ked-drives.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...lost-files.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...ned-drives.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...hkdsk-disk.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...image-data.htm http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywi...ypted-data.htm -- Good work, Good day.
