  1. Word overwrote my file. How can i get it back?


    I opened a word document form teams and created a copy of the documen ton my word app. I worked on it for 2 days and made sur to click cltr+s to save what i wrote. I open it again today and the document is back to what it was before i even write anything. I tried alot of things to get my document back like looking in the recycling bin, the unsaved documents, old versions of the document, etc... Is there still something i can do to get my document back?

    :)

  2. Try3 Win User

    Red icon for word files?

    That's fine. You answered quicker than I could cook my dinner. Right-click on a .doc file, Select Open with, Choose another app [do this even if Word is in the list], Set the checkbox for Always use this app ........ Look in the list for MSWord & select it then click on OK. [If you scroll to the end and MSWord is not shown then you'll see a link for showing More apps and if you reach the end of that longer list there is a Look for another app on this PC option to let you browse to find the MSWord file [WinWord.exe]. If this is difficult then we can step though it slowly but it is fixable this way. I ahve to go. I'm almosst mistypog more words than I am typing corretcly, I'm too hungered, Denis
