All uppercase lettering is unnecessary and can be difficult to interpret.

In your case - however - it is not the case of the letters that will cause
more questions to be asked than answered - but the lack of information. All
you have done is given a short subject (where I suppose you are asking how
to recover secure or deleted data) and then a 'plea for help'...

Sure - we can assume a lot. You are probably running Windows XP (Home?
Professional? Some superset version of Professional?) You utilized the web
interface to post here. For some reason - you feel that the "Windows XP -
Work Remotely" newsgroup was appropriate. Perhaps you are asking about
offline files?

Please clarify what you want, what you have, what you have done to get in
your situation and what you have tried to get out of your situation - at
least. The more details you give - the more likely someone will be able to
give you more than a list of questions as a solution to your query. ;-)

Jeffrey,

You say you filled out this document 'online'. Did you print a copy for
yourself/save a copy for yourself at all?

If not - the chances will be slim-to-none that you will have any proof (thus
why those pages usually tell/warn you to print your own copy for your own
records.) If all you did was fill out an online form and hit the submit
button and you have your settings to either 'empty your cache on exit' or
you have utilized the Internet frequently since the submittal - the chances
of having anything (even if none of that is true - the chances are slim)
stored on your computer from that transaction is nearly zero. In the case
of not saving a copy for yourself - it's not so much a case of recovering
data as it is that the data never really was located on your computer anyway
beyond the keystrokes you sent out to the Internet to 'fill out the form'.

With items you fill out online - usually the web page in question
tells/warns you to print a copy out for your own records. I usually print
to a PDF format and save it in my documents - which is nightly backed up to
an external media - so I know I have a copy of such things like receipts,
online forms I fill out, etc. I use an application called "PDFCreator" to
do this - free software. I know that does you no good at this time - but in
the future - I suggest you make copies (electronic and otherwise) of all
important documents like this - for your own safety.

Although I am empathetic to your situation (loss of an arm) that is not
actually an excuse (to me) to typing in all upper case lettering (nor did I
state that your caps lock key was stuck.) You would be better off typing in
all lower case than all upper case lettering and/or alternating between the
caps-lock key being on/off for the approximately one letter per sentence
(the initial letter) that would normally be required. Also there is
software that will 'auto-case' lettering while you type (Microsoft Word has
this option - other options will do it across the entirety of your typing.)
There are also 'macro utilities' that allow you to enter in frequently typed
words/phrases and change them into a 'shorthand' so it automatically types
those items for you when you type the 'shorthand' version. You could also
obtain/utilize voice-recognition software that would type as you dictate
(Dragon Dictate comes to mind). I am not 'coming down on you' - but I am
letting you know some of the options available to help.

Typing utilities that may help:

(Wade through the typing tutor applications. You want the automatic features
of some of these.)

Dragon NaturallySpeaking is one of the better commercial voice-recognition
software's out there in my opinion:
