Recovering Word Files...

Recommended Posts

So my girlfriend has accidentally replaced her most recent dissertation with a file from 3weeks ago from her usb. She has searched the whole lappy to no avail.

Is there anyway at all she can recover the most recent file or is it gone forever?

(I think she was prompted that there is already x file on the laptop, would u like to replace it, thinking she was replacing the old with the new. Unfortunately she wasn't. Any ideas)

You can check the backup files folder, thats if she has selected that option in word. See Tools > Options > Save tab, there should be a check box for backup copies. If this is selected then there will be a backup copy within the same location as where she saved the .doc file. The backup file will be .wbk. Open this file in Word.

Do a file search also.
