my file still exists but is blank please help

[hanna]

I had a virus completely delete a file in my microsoft word 2000. It's old
and I don't know what to do. The file name is still there but the text is
blank, and I've tried several recovery progrms that haven't retrived it. Was
hoping someone knew if word has its own back to retrieve things from and how
to use it

If the contents have been overwritten (and it certainly seems as if that is
the case), there isn't anything you can do, I'm afraid.
