Closed Word document before saving it - aagh!

[221b]

I had 6 word documents cascaded and was closing them all one by one and "saving as" as I went.

I accidentally closed one out of order, by clicking on the wrong tile and so did so when I hadn't saved it!

Is there any way of recovering data in a document that was untitled or is it lost forever - gulp - minor breakdown...

Please advise, people...

Thanks

If it closed without asking if you wanted it saving, then it means there were no changes to it from what was already saved on the hard disk.

Yes, I know...

Trouble is it did ask me did I want to save it, but as I thought I had done that less than 5 secs ago (had actually done it with another file cascaded underneath) I said no and closed it.

Only then did I realise the true horror of what I'd done!

Have spent best part of this evening rewriting. Hey Ho...

Thanks and I shall be much slower in saving and closing in future!

OK, sorry to hear that. You could try a file recovery tool:

But since you've rewritten the same file, it may not be all that effective.

Thanks for that, fo3nix.

I'll definitely check it out for future reference, should I ever be in such a tricky situation again...
