Solve : lost MS works research paper? |
|
Answer» My 17 year old daughter sent a research paper to her sister's laptop from an MS word file as a yahoo attachment, opened it and started working on it. She swears she SAVED it. When she tried to send it back to her computer to print, she couldn't find the file. She found the 4 new files she created on the laptop to send (table of contents, etc.) but the ORIGINAL one is nowhere to be found in the recent doc. Of course it is the 25 pager. I have looked in recent documents 20 x and don't see the document name, opened the others to see if it got saved in those by mistake. not there. My 17 year old daughter sent a research paper to her sister's laptop from an MS word file as a yahoo attachment, opened it and started working on it.So she sent it in an email.

What Operating System?Quote My 17 year old daughter sent a research paper to her sister's laptop from an MS word file as a yahoo attachment, opened it and started working on it.Yes. but never saved it onto the laptop first as a new doc. She hit the save button several times and it showed the doc with a (1) after the name. Quote She swears she saved it. When she tried to send it back to her computer to print, she couldn't find the file.Tried to email it back to herself with the 4 new docs she created. When browsing on Yahoo to attach the docs, she couldn't locate it. Neither can I. This is when she freaked and WOKE me up. What Operating System? MICROSOFT Office 2007 Thanks Old ManOperating System= Microsoft Windows XP Professional Sorry I wasn't reading your question carefully. Stand By. Let me try and recreate your scenario with my Yahoo account.I think I found it. C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp Navigate to that directory and see if you can locate it the document.If Carbon Dudeoxide's idea doesn't work you can try to seach the whole machine using the file name. You may come up with a few temp copies but in most cases you will find the whole file.

You may come up with a few temp copies but in most cases you will find the whole file.Searching using these settings: And, I'd use wildcards, i.e. asterisks, in the search box for "All or part of the file name:". Do you know for sure what the file extension is for that file? Your forum topic title, "lost MS works research paper", says MS Works. But, you've also MENTIONED Office 2007. So, was she using Works or Office 2007? If Office 2007, was she using it on both computers? Since the specific application being used will determine the normal file extension and we have some unclear statements here regarding which application was used, that's why I suggest using search on filename.*, not filename.doc, filename.wps, etc. And, you may want to use a wildcard in the filename part, too, in case she inadvertently changed some part of the filename. For example, filen*.* would find any file starting with filen, such as filename, filenumber, filenovember, etc. Thanks Soybean, I didn't tell Ejm to put anything in the search bar Hey, ejm: Don't leave us hangin'! Did she find the paper and get it submitted on time? |
