Lost Word Document--URGENT
I'm using Windows Vista and Word 2007. I worked on a document all evening
saving it periodically, closed it and emailed it to myself as an attachment through gmail webmail. But the document I received in my email did not include any of the information that I added to it today. Also, the original on my computer was the same version as on my email and did not include any of the newly saved information. I went to the root directory of the C drive and searched for it and all I found was the old one. I also looked in the directory where the file was, but there weren't any temporary files. Please help! Thank you. |

Lost Word Document--URGENT
From where did the document originate? If it was an attachment to an email
message that you opened by double clicking on it, you may or may not be able to recover the modified version as the changes are saved in your Temporary Internet files folder. Note that you can't just open your Temporary Internet Files folder directly and find it due to the way Windows handles your Temporary Internet files but if it's still available, here's how you can get it back: 1. Open another Word document sent to you as an attachment from an email. If you don't have one, send an email with an attachment to yourself. (While you should be able to open the same email attachement since another copy of the file is created in your Temporary Internet Files folder, I don't like taking a chance like that.) 2. Click the Office Button, point at Prepare, and then click Properties. The Properties pane will display below the Ribbon. 3. On the far right of the Properties pane you'll see a file path and the document name. Select only the file path and press Ctrl + C to copy it. 4. Press the WinKey + E to open the Windows Explorer. (Or use an alternate method to open it) 5. Paste the copied file path in the Address bar and press Enter. These steps should put you either in the same location as your revised file or near it. You may need to dig around in other folders to locate it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
