    I am using Office 2000 with XP Pro, IE8, and SP3. I had three pages typed in MS Word for a newspaper article and lost everything except the first two paragraphs. I've never had this happen, so I certainly have no idea of what caused the problem. I was wondering if there is anyway to recover my information, there was a great deal of thought and work involved in this document. I would greatly appreciate any help I may receive, this has been energy draining as I have tried to recover this information to no avail.

    Thanks for any help someone may be willing to offer.

    Hi,

    Did you save the document? do you remember the file name? I am quiet not sure how your able to see first two paragraphs, If your missing a file, you can search for it or you can use AUTO-recovery option in ms word.

    Yes, it is saved and showing up in my documents under the name of the first few words of the first sentence. How do you use the auto-recovery option?
    Thanks for the help!
