Word 2007: Recover Lost Document File
Posted on Nov 19, 2007 under Office Tips |What to do when you have lost your file in Word 2007.
If Word 2007 has crashed and you lost your document, you can try to search for a backup of the file.
In Windows XP, you can choose Start > Search > Files and Folders
In Windows Vista, you can just click Start and then type your search in the Start Search box.
Search for the following individually:
*.docx
*.asd
*.wbk
*.tmp
~*.*
After each search is complete, check the date these files were created. If they are new files, try to open them in Word to see if it is the document you lost.
