I REALLLY need help....
 

Ok, i think im really screwed now... so i was typing this paper for composition in Word. I selected all the paper, and cut it to put it into an email. However i decided then that i wanted to attach the file to the email instead of the paper being the email.... so i saved the document in word (blank now that i cut it all out), and sent that, and it was blank. Then, to add to that, i cut and pasted a link to a website, so i cant paste all those words back onto a new document. HOW DO I RECOVER THIS PAPER???? It is past due, and took me forever to write, and i dont have any more copies to it!!!

Re: I REALLLY need help....
 

is there some sort of keylogger, or recovery program?

Re: I REALLLY need help....
 

From what I've ever come across, you're fucked. I believe Word's autorecovery only works if the program is forced to shutdown unexpectedly without an opportunity to save. There are reasons why the save button is your friend.

What is the subject of the paper? How long is 'forever?'

Re: I REALLLY need help....
 

Get crackin, papers dont just re-write themselves ya know. ;)

OMFG I figured it out, i almost just totaly threw somthing breakable on the ground i was so angry. I looked up Recovery in help index, and it took me through this process of opening the file again and it was there along with some computer jargon at the heading and footing of the page, but its back.... Let this be a lesson to me and you, always save it twice...

Re: I REALLLY need help....
 

nope it will even work if you did what i described, i am so damn lucky.

forever meaning like 4 days...

Dramatic post of the month winner!


j/k glad you got everything back.

Re: I REALLLY need help....
 

Yea as long as you saved it right before you cut it, it will be either in the temp directory or you can use recovery. Glad you got it back!

Re: I REALLLY need help....
 

good work on the recovery.
I'd also like to nominate this for interesting/pointless post of the month.

Lucky you :D I've done something similiar at work with some spreadsheets. You learn fast though never to do it again.

Re: I REALLLY need help....
 

SON OF A! I just did the same thing. But I wasn't able to get it back. And I only wasted an hour or so but shit, I wish I would have hit the fucking save button.
