I have worked for hours and hours on a doicument and saved it and reloaded
the saved copy. Suddenly I can't locate it through any of the usual means
and have looked through all the directories. The shortcut file shows 0kb.
What on earth has happened and can I find it somehow somewhere. Please help
if you can urgently. I'm in despair.

thank you nice readers

What do you mean by reloaded the saved copy?

Was this file attached to an email by any chance?

-- Was saved in a word directory ... now no sign of the file, have checked that tools allows folders to be seen . Am getting error messages from Word saying that the file is read only it wasn't before ) and when i try and load it up am asked to load the word systems disc . which I don't have. Went through a long process to apparently downlod a patch from the MS site to fix this problem but was again asked for the word systems disc. I loaded the software back in 2000 and cannot find the disc. not convinced it would help anyway as the error came out of nowhere. Maybe I have got a virusa which has got through my virus checker ...
thanks for your help appreciate it.

Changing a file from read-only is not difficult. Was this file sent to you
in an email originally?
