My wife created a Word 2003 doc, multiple pages, at work. She brought it home
on a jump drive to continue working on it. At one point in ediitng the doc,
she deleted a character from a table in the document, and then suddenly, the
table went blank and everything below it disapperead. Undo didn't work.
She closed the document without saving it (not wanting to save a corrupt
file) and went to reopen it. The file is just GONE--no longer on the jump
drive, apparently. When she tried to open it from the "recent docs" list, she
gets an error message saying something about how it may have a virus, but she
created it form scratch, so we know there's no virus in it.
Anyway, she's got about 10 hour of work into this document, and now it's
just gone.
Does Office store a temp file anywhwere that can be recovered? If so, how
can we find it, and access it?
Thanks in advance!
