Recovered file
I used a recovery file to finish up a project. I saved it several times and
closed out. When I go to the directory the older copy is there, not the one I worked on. When I clicked on the recovery file it says it will open the original document, so I thought that was what I was working in. What in the world was I saving during the 2-3 period of working on the document? Ossie |

Recovered file
I think when word recovers a document, it is given a differnt name - and it will ask you to save it - did you click on save or did you "save as" and gave it a new name - if you clicked on save - it has been saved under the name it was given after the recovery - it could be in the same folder under a different name or - go to start - my recent documents and find it. Hope this helps "Ossie" wrote: I used a recovery file to finish up a project. I saved it several times and closed out. When I go to the directory the older copy is there, not the one I worked on.

Recovered file
Yes it gave it the *wpk file name. I found it in word tools application but
the file was not readable. It showed a file size of 7 meg and that the time I last saved it, but it seemed like the word document "text" itself was not saved. There should be a safeguard against saving recovered files, especially when it says it is the original file. I will be more careful next time.
