  1. Lost an hours worth of text in a Word document - can I get it back


    I've just spent an hour working on a train, then got a blue screen error, restarted and my Word document lost all the changes I had made since I started an hour ago. Is there any way of recovering an interim version at least. I thought the default save was every 10 minutes.

    :)

    Lost text

    Hi Martha,





    There are a lot of possible factor for a text or a
    word document to be lost. To isolate the issue, I have some questions for you:




    • What application did you use to create the text document?

    • Were there any changes made before the text was lost?

    • Were there any recent application installed?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?



    We'll be waiting for your response.



    Regards.

    Recovering corrupt word documents

    Please explain...?

    And I know this thread is abit of a spam magnet..for that I apologise.
    Unfortunately I cannot attach one of the files due to they need to remain confidential.

    I have tried the following:

    - Several "text" recovery programs.
    - I have tried using word to repair and open the documents
    - I have tried opening the documents in several other text browsers - ie. Notepad, wordpad etc
    - I have tried using winzip, winrar and 7zip to retreive text
    - I have tried changing options in word to attempt to open the document as a draft.
    - I have tried to use word to "insert text" from the document

    All these things havent worked for me yet.. *Cry :cry:
