HELP!!!

[fran]

I just spend an hour typing something up and I was almost finished when the window randomly closed itself- just like that. I've no clue what happened. Is there any way I could find it again on a computer room computer? I really can't believe this.

Unless word has autosaved it at some point during your editing, I'm afraid it's most likely lost.

Maybe you hit Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+S? Surely the point of autosave is that the file is available somewhere. Do a Google of 'Microsoft Word autosave' and see what you find.

Search the computer (or the device it was being saved to) for the following:
~WRD*.TMP
These are temporary files stored by Word, one of which might be your document.

...but then again, that is only my opinion.

If it's a web browser window, then chances are you've lost whatever you were typing.

If your work IS lost, I'm very sorry to hear it. Use this opportunity to remind yourself why you should save your work on a regular basis.
