Girlfriend has just phoned me to say she had typed a 8 page Word document only for the eggtimer to appear and has frozen up Word.
If you look at Task Manager it just say Word not responding.
Well you can see what coming, she has not saved the document so is there any way this can be salvaged without closing Word, could there be a temp file somewhere?
Or are we all doomed!
Forgot to add we are running XP Pro with Office XP.

I don't think there is much you can do if it has frozen. You could try closing down any other applications on the off chance there is something conflicting.

Sometimes word will have saved a temp file, which will be loaded the next time you open up word. If the next time you load word, it opens with a blank document, then I'm not sure what else you can do, sorry.

 

probably solved now but heres my bit

from experience, if you just switch off computer and restart load word and it has shown up asking if you want to recover last unsaved document or something along those lines.

 

Yep she did restart Word and it did ask her to recover the last file.
Phew!
That will teach her!
