Look I am not at all good at explaining in professional terms my issue so please be patient.
I am writing a book and I downloaded a Microsoft word 97-2003(.doc) from the website I will write the book. I thought it was open office writer in the beginnng because I don’t have Microsoft office.
I am writing on this file some days now and I am saving every day.
So yesterday I would stat to write but the file was not there.
How canI find it?
Is it possible to go back in time as a time traveler to the day that I wrote the last words which is about 2 days ago 14 of April ?
I don’t care to lose anything else on my computer just need to find this file.
Please help me. I have written 40 pages and now I have to write them again.
What can I do ?
I have used recuva but did not find anything
Thank you
Lost doc file
Re: Lost doc file
If you are using Windows 10, there should be a search icon, it represents a magnifying glass, near the lower left of your screen. Click on that and type the name of the document in the box that says Type Here To Search. That should show you where the document is located.

Re: Lost doc file
Or type in any word from your document - search looks inside documents too.
If you still cannot find it see [Tutorial] How to find and un-delete AOO temporary files for detailed instructions on how to
a) use Previous Versions (W7 and later) to recover previous versions of the file (is there something similar on MacOS and Linux?);
b) recover your file as it was when you last opened or saved it, or as it was when it was last saved with AutoRecovery;
c) find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which have since been deleted;
d) find any temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file but which have not yet been deleted;
e) un-delete the temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file, and then deleted. d) and e) will recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it.
If you cannot follow the instructions ask someone with more PC skills to help you. Act quickly - the longer you wait the more likely any temporary files are to be deleted.
