It can be found found on your computer as a .temp file. Do not under any circumstances delet any history or anything like that. Computer always saves things so it can load it fast next time you open it. Let me try remember when to find it. What system are you using? Also was on Microsoft word? |

Have you tried pressing the window's button on your desktop and then typing in the title, or a keyword into the search all programmes and files box? It may help.
I'll be happy to go through it, too, if you like.  |

"I believe ms office saves regularly so all may not be lost
i've looked everywhere its properly vanished  "
I had a quick look online and found the following which may help:
Step 1: Locate the Word autorecover file location
In Office 2010, click on File | Options to bring up the Word Options dialog box. (In Office 2007, click on the Office Orb, then Options.) In the left-hand column, select Save. In the Save options section, highlight the path in the Autorecover file location box and press CTRL+C to copy the path.
Step 2: Navigate to the autorecover file location from within Word
Open Microsoft Word, and select File | Open. Place your cursor in the File name box and press CTRL+V to paste the path to the autorecover file location. Press Enter to open the directory.
Step 3: Open the appropriate autorecovery file
In the file type dropdown list, select All Files (*.*). At this point, you should see one (or more) files with the extension .asd. These are the Word autorecovery files. If the document was new and never saved, the filename will be something like "Autorecovery save of Document1.asd." If the document was already manually saved, but you lost intervening work between saves, it will have the name of the saved document (e.g., "Autorecovery save of Rob's Grocery List.asd").
Select the appropriate .asd file and click Open. In some cases, the .asd file may not even have an intelligible filename (e.g., "~prj383.asd"). If no file in the directory has the expected file name, open each .asd file until you find the one that contains your missing work.
Hope those helps  |
