Office 2000 file recovery.

[Toshido]

Friend of mine screwed up big. here is what she has done.

She typed a document using MS Word 2000. Got it all done with all the proper formatting and headers, etc...

She then wants to create a new document using the first as a template, see where this is going yet?

So she sintends to erase all the information she does not need THEN "save as" a new file. Instead she erases all the information then clicks "save"

Anything that can be done?

I told her she is likely screwed.

[=Sarc=]

If she hasn't closed Word, she should press Undo. Although, I don't know if the Undo buffer is large enough and she has probably closed Word by now. By luck, she may have version saving turned on. File/Versions and check if any versions have been saved. I don't think it saves versions by default though.

So it will save previous version, but not by default. i think i will tell her about that and maybe prevent the same mistake in the future.
oh well guess she is scrweed, too bad.
