How to open earlier version of a document?
I opened a document in Word 2003 and gutted it keeping only the format and
then (like a dummy) saved it under the same name. I need my original document back. The assistance board said go to -file--versions- but I have no such sub heading under the file button or function...My Office may be the educational discount (student and teacher) edition if that makes a difference. Anyway to recover the original? |

Makes no difference, Craig. Any one of us would be SOL. The likelihood of
ANYONE being able to recover your file are fairly slim and VERY expensive. But think... did you email it to anyone recently? ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Craig" wrote in message ...

How to open earlier version of a document?
I just found a posting from Herb Tyson dated Sept 30 on this topic.
Following his advice, I checked and did not have the Tools-Option-Save-Backup toggle set to On so guess I am out of luck, I will be making backups from now on, you can bet. Time to retype 5 single spaced pages... "Craig" wrote: I opened a document in Word 2003 and gutted it keeping only the format and then (like a dummy) saved it under the same name.

How to open earlier version of a document?
Anne Troy,
Thanks, my wife did come up with a copy I had printed off to share with her. Since it was an attachment for a course paper, I might be able to salvage it by erasing a few margin notes and try to pass it off on my professor. Or I might turn to researching OCR recognition using my scanner and generate another post to this forum! Thanks for the memory jogger. Craig "Anne Troy" wrote: Makes no difference, Craig.

Craig, I tried a few and found ReadIris to provide the best results, and I
only needed the trial version. Check it out. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Craig" wrote in message ...

And if you had not closed the document, you could have used Undo to get back
to the original version. -- Suzanne S.
