ggrtrhhrtgg Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I need somebody's help desperately... over the last month or so, I have been working on an essay, the most important, passionate, defining piece of work I have or will ever create... I actually finished it, on Microsoft Word 97... I then proceeded to save it to disc, no problems...then I started to highlight in order to copy and paste in an email to my sister who is an editor... well, an error occurred and part of a sentence was lost, and when I tried to go back to correct it, the program stopped responding... now, I cannot retrieve any of the document from the disc, but, I can retrieve other documents from the same disc.. please, tell me there is some way to recover this, I am so upset that I think I am going to puke. yours sincerely, #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 You might try some of the file & disk utilities available on Download. There seem to be quite a few undelete/recovery programs. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondtube Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 you can try opening it in notepad, in different txt formats... you may be able to save some of the data... txt is relatively easy to save....spacing and layout will be lost for sure.
