Hello, I'm not very good with COMPUTERS so bare with me please .

I am a university student and today when I went to open my class notes in Microsoft Works Word Processor I found nothing but a blank page. The file was still there, with the exact same name, but all the text was gone. The document contained 15 hours of lecture notes needed for an exam in 6 days, so I'm naturally pretty anxious for help. I have since TURNED my computer on and off. I have tried converting the file to rich text format and back, to no avail. The size of the document says a mere 16 kb now as well.

I opened the seemingly blank document with notepad, and found a bunch of jargon along with 2 interesting clues. One was very small pieces of my class notes here and there, in between the coding and jargon. The SECOND was towards the end of the coding, where it said various random things about my HP printer. I did perform a printer test today, and was wondering if that did anything to DELETE or corrupt my notes.

I performed a system reset back to 5 PM (the file appeared blank at 6 PM, when it said it was last modified). The file is still blank.

These notes are very important to me and my grade in this class. I have back up material from 3 weeks ago, but with 3 hour classes i would still be missing a lot of material >_<. Any help is much appreciated, thank you very much.

try to open it with word if avaliable........hopefully you didn't SAVE over with a blank form.....good luckDo a search for the filename in Windows Explorer...hopefully if auto backup was enabled in Works the backup file will be there...it may have a different file extension but it should work.Searched in Windows Explorer, came across the same 'blank' file, but when opened in notepad shows bits and pieces of my notes along with Printer info.

Thanks for the help though! Any other ideas?Open that file with Works...
