Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I'm sure someone wil
direct me if required.

I Was Working on a word .doc file saving regularly. File seemed to g
blank....ie all the data entered seemed lost. The file size,however
was 217Kb which I reckon is about right for the 16 or so pages of txt
The thing is, when I open the file, all I get is a blank single page.
have checked for white txt. Am I missing something obvious? If the fil
size is ok, is the data still there? How can I access it? If I conver
to another format and try and read on different software will tha
help? :confused:

Any advice or pointers will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Panic over! Thank you for looking in. I have sorted the problem and
here's how, for anyone who might have the same problem:---

#1 opened word
#2 Chose FILE/OPEN
#3 picked "recover text from any file" from the drop down list
#4 Chose the file concerned

Hey presto! This will seem laughable to some ppl perhaps but the info
was actually 64 pages and represented 5x 8 hour days work. The deadline
for the information is in 36 hours so starting again was not
possible.(The info was all there although a little mixed up)

I hope this is of some help to someone someday. :D

Best wishes

Perhaps a mod would like to close this thread now? Thanks
