Please help trying to find an erased file

[LMSigns24]

I need Help!! Typing a paper on word and saving it to a flash drive. A FATAL ERROR message came up and now i can't find my file! Said saving it to temporary files but can't find it. Can anyone help me?! I had 3/4 typed and now cant find it. Not even on my flash drive.

was it ever saved once, before trying to save to a remote drive?

don't save to remote drives first... save locally & then copy.

In exchange for all of your hours work you had a valuable lesson.

All the best lessons have a high price.

do a search for *.doc on your entire computer, then arrange by date. IF it's there, it will be one of the lastest files.

Its weird because it says there is 4 documents in the folder, but i only see 3.

the 4th one is probably hidden. To view it you have to make sure the "Show hidden files & folders" bullet is checked.

Found in:
My Computer/Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files & Folders/Apply

You can really mess some stuff up if you start moving the wrong things around though, so just be careful.

I hope you find your file.

Doesn't Word keep a temp backup file while you're working?
