Recovering a Document in Word 2003 (professional)

[CAH_II]

Good evening. Please reply directly to my email address since I don't know
how to get back to the replies once emailed that there IS one;
cesarhATcomcast.net. Obvioulsly change the "AT" to @. Thank you.

Problem:
I was using an online email page to email a company. After I was through, I
ususally cut-n-paste the body of the message to Word to check for spelling
and cut the corrected version back in. I then close Word, when I'm asked if I
want to save the file. I say "No", and Word closes like normal. I know need
that same file, but it cannot be retrieved from a "restore" function. I'm
sure it is still somewhere weather or not it's in a temp directory or just
not writen over. Can I find it and get it back? My computer is on 24/7 and
won't lose anything for shutting down.

I truly thank you for ypour help.

Also, off the subject; Will "MS Digital Suite Anniversary Edition" (most
recent edition), be able to convert a QuickTime movie to MPG or MPEG format?
If it doesn't, please suggest something that will. Please help, it is
appreciated and I am a good, generous friend. I'm trying to create a DVD
movie using clips, some that need converting.
Again, I truly thank you for your help.

Just in case you *do* find your way back:

A) This is a newsgroup, not a personal help line - direct email
communication is generally avoided for a number of obvious reasons,

B) You neglected to mention anything about what version of Word you're using
or what OS, which is often an important consideration. It's only the "Also"
part of your post that suggests you're on a Windows system, and you've
posted to the Mac Word group,

C) The first issue is, fortunately, rather universal - If you've neither
shut down *nor* copied/cut anything since, that content may still be on the
Windows clipboard. If so, it's simply a matter of pasting again to recover
the content into another doc in Word, Notepad, etc. However, if the content
is no longer on the clipboard & you never *saved* a file it was never
_written_ anywhere so there is nothing to be recovered.

D) Since this is a Mac group there are probably few familiar with the
Windows-only Digital Suite, so it's unlikely you'll find an answer to your
second question here.

For future reference you might have a look at these pages & their included

Sorry about that - it was noted in the Subject line.

My sincerest apologies. I am not necessarily new at this (one or two up from
Newbie). I was not aware I was in the Mac section. There are so many groups;
I picked the closest I could find having some relation with my issue (words I
read). Not that it matters, but “XP Media Center†is the OS.

I appreciate the lack of backlash I would have expected. Thank you for
letting me know.

If I could ask a favor; could you give me a link where I belong?

In addition, what you are saying makes sense but I really think that it is
in here somewhere. I put my email in because on some discussion groups it
brings you to the groups, not YOUR OWN post. This one did. I will learn my
lesson.

Again, I appreciate you setting me straight. Have a great weekend.

My apologies to the rest of you as well.

No need to apologize - it happens quite a bit & may not even be your doing

The last link in my previous post will point you in the right direction, but
here it is again:

You'll see the PC Word groups in the lower right corner of that page.

Thank you, but I think it is a lost cause. I've gotten some replies and some
serious action taken. I think I've lost it, but it isn't a big deal. Have a
great weekend and thank you for everything.

Dear CAH_II,

The obstructions you mention can be infuriating for accessing these
discussion groups by web browser. They can be avoided by using newsreader
software or, presumably, Outlook / Outlook Express to access the groups. On
the Mac we use our Microsoft e-mail application, Entourage, which is why I
use "presumably". You can probably infer the steps for Outlook if you look
at the Entourage MVPs' website (www.entourage.mvps.org) under "Newsreader"
in the contents panel. If you¡¯re unfamiliar with Entourage, the notes under
"Accounts" are very helpful. An article by MVP Barry Wainwright is equally
worth reading http://homepage.mac.com/barryw/weblog/weblog.html (look for
the heading 'NNTP is your friend').

And this discussion group is microsoft.public.mac.office.word ;-)

Cheers,

Clive Huggan

Thank you for your help, as well, Clive. Moreover, the rest of you have been
very patient with me and quite helpful. Than you again, I am humbled by your
desire to help me.
Please don't anyone reply anymore as, everyone has stated, I'm in the wrong
group and don’t want to continue in this/with this error. I apologize that I
have to reply one last time to thank you, taking up someone’s valuable time
to read this without true, complete discussion of the actual issue, IN the
wrong discussion group to boot.

As far as using outlook, I will learn that portion and go from there. Thank
you all for your time and selfless assistance. [NOTE: As far as the issue
goes, I forgot and rebooted, so I think all is lost. However, it was simply
an attempt to, bottom line, be lazy. I guess that is what I get. What I lost
is no big deal. The biggest lesson would have been to learn how to recover
it, but I rebooted so it's a mute(?) point now]. Please, do not reply and
perpetuate my error. As I said, I am grateful that I was not slammed and all
of you were cordial about my error.

Thank you again and have a wonderful week.
