A Document that I accidently deleted.

I was typing away, and all of a sudden...*POOF* it was all gone, except for the last word I typed. I must have hit a key or something. (It's because my nails are too long and I intent to clip them today)
I called crabcake, but she couldn't help.
Is there a place where all deleted documents go, after you empty out your recycle bin?
I could see it being deleted, if I had everything highlighted, then accidently hit delete, but nothing was highlighted. :shrug:
Only the last word typed, remained.

The document was important to my business, so I'd love to have it back.

Can someone shed some light on this for me, please? Help me to get it back.

Remember.....I am NOT a computer GURU like most of you, so you'll have to talk to me like a 2 year old as far as computers go. :lol: Thank you!!

See is this helps. Not sure if you can do this. I looked up "deleted files" on www.microsoft.com and this is what I found.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229041

Go to "my computer"....click on whatever drive you were using(some have more than one drive) and hit search....then go to the advance search and put in the date that you created the doc.....click search....the computer will pull up all the stuff that was changed on that date

My word program is set so that it auto saves the file in a temp file ever 30 seconds....then when I finish the doc., I save it where it needs to be saved and takes it out of the temp file

You also might want to check the "recycle bin", too

Office 2003 and 2007 have auto recovery.

You should've Ctrl+Z once you saw it was missing.

That is in reference to a problem that occurs where files aren't deleted as they should be.

The secret to finding something is not closing the file you were in-sorry NannyPam :huggy: .
There maybe an auto-save by default in whatever program you were using-if in fact there is, it would be stored in a temporary file-by searching all doc's stored under that date.
If not located you may have to call TECH SUPPORT! :yikes:

Did you find it? I wonder if you could have clicked the undo button to bring it back.

before you do all that....do the first step....check your recycle bin :coffee:
