It doesn’t work for me at all, when I follow your instructions and open a file the option to ‘convert file’ does not appear, just the document as it was when I last saved it. I read with interest your article #5995 – Can I recover lost text from a Microsoft Word document? So it’s going to take some time removing the extra stuff from 20 pages, but at least it’s all there! Good luck finding your stuff! Everything is in order, BUT there was a lot of repeated sentences, and there was stuff from other writings in between a lot of the text. Out of the 2026 pages there was about 20 pages that I needed.
I did a search for a phrase I remembered typing, and found all the information I needed on page 470. tmp file, there were 2026 pages of information from writings that dated back over a year. Be sure to select “Recover Text from Any File.” The other ones either didn’t work for me, or came out too messed up to make sense of. tmp file, a “Convert File” dialogue box will appear, and you will be prompted to confirm the conversion at open (as long as you checked the box to confirm conversion at open as described in the first step.

tmp file saved last saved at 1:33 PM in my Windows temp folder(c://Documents and Settings/Matt/Local Settings/Temp).
I was writing until 1:33 PM, so lost a lot of data since. tmp file in my Word folder (c://Documents and Settings/Matt/Application Data/Microsoft/Word), but that was last saved at 12:10 PM. There was an auto recovered copy saved as a. I closed the file, thinking I would be promted to save, but it just closed without prompting or saving. I was writing for about an hour and a half, and something went wrong when I tried to save. This advice, along with a little detective work, saved my life. An entire day’s work down the drain even though I saved it regularly. It’s just completely gone as far as I can see, and all I can find is my original version without corrections or comments. My saved version labeled 18:44 (time) with the corrections and comments, has vanished! It’s not in Finder as it was the first couple of times I tried after the hang. However, something much worse has happened now. The first couple of times, I got the original document back and it seemed to work fine until I tried to italicize again. Suddenly when I tried to highlight and italicize a word (which I had been doing all along), the Word doc just hung. I was on page 9 or so out of a 17-page Word doc. I had added comments to the margins, just page numbers referring to the original. I had them both open along with Safari with several windows open.

I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Word 2004 version 11.5.5 (I thought I had 2003, I’m peeved now) and today I was revising a text that I translated from a large. I love your site, it has saved me so many times. Hopefully this will get you back your missing prose! Theoretically it should have vanished, but it’s still there and I was able to recover it. The text from “Dave Taylor says:” to the bottom of the page was all deleted from the file, then the file was saved to disk. When I deleted some text from my test file and did this procedure, here’s what I saw: In the middle of it, however, you should be able to find all your missing text. Click “OK” and you’ll see lots of junk, typographical notations, and other miscellany. There are lots of choices, but I’ve highlighted the one you want: Recover Text from Any File. Now open up the file with the missing text and you’ll be asked if you want to use a converter: Select the Confirm conversion at Open option (it’s right by the mouse cursor) and click “OK”.
In Microsoft Office XP, that’s done by creating a blank document (so you can get to the Options preference, otherwise it’s grayed out), then selecting Tools –> Options and clicking on the General tab. What you need to do is enable document conversion on open.

Now, the challenge is how to access that data. You’ll find that the new version of the file, the version that has all the archival data purged, is often dramatically smaller than the original. One way you can see that this is the case is by doing a “Save As…” on a document you’ve been editing for a while. You might not realize it, but Microsoft Word actually keeps somewhat of a history of your document in the file, even when it looks like there’s nothing there and even when you have revision tracking turned off.
