Look for a file named "Backup of xyz.wbk" where the xyz part is the name of your file. If you're lucky, you had the "Automatically save a backup" option turned on in Tools Options Save. If you didn't save a backup copy, you can't recover a previous version -- the bits have vanished. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/AutomaticSave.htm for some advice to avoid the problem in the future. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
