  1. Losing document content on Wordpad


    I typed up about 60 pages of a document through on word pad and now I cannot get my content. The file opens up, yes, but it is completely blank. Though the scroll button is small and actually moves up and down af if the document is there but no words show. I have tried Copy and to another new file... nothing. Same thing.

    I got MS Word and have tried to open the file through word but it shows block 0s all through as if it is a code or something. I realised my wordpad documents have an extension of .rtf so i tried to convert them to doc... none of the apps would go through with it. They all report back errors.

    I have tried emailing the document to a friend of mine and it wont load to my gmail at all.

    I really need to recover my actual document... any help will be appreciated.

    :)
