Prescott, is the file size correct? You'll often find more than one insatance of the file, especially if it's been saved a few times. Also consider the back up version (.bak), stored if that function had been selected in Tools > Options, god knows where for Word files, but probably in the Word or Office programme group.

422158 2006-01-19 03:58:00 I recommend you download Easeus DataRecoveryWizard (www.easeus.com) to try. It has a very high success rate on recover data and accidentally deleted files. maune (9642)

Cheers :)
