[Kirill]

recover these files? if it's complex, I can probably do
it, but i really need those .docs. PLease help.

You're way out of luck.

You may find them as deleted temp files. Download the demo from
www.RecoverMyFiles.com and see if you can see them.

Good Luck

You can try one of the free recovery programs (do Google
search) which could let you recover all or parts of
the .doc files as plain text.

Had to register here just to say Thank You to emil.novy for posting this. Just had a catastrophe at work and Googled a way to recover unsaved Excel documents, found this for Word, and gave it a try. Don't know who you are or if you will see this but you're a lifesaver.

Help for a price? hmmm...

Well Mr. High & Mighty Doug Robbins MS Word MVP...

To tell someone you would only help on a consulting basis... and I'm sure for a fee was a pretty crappy way to respond to their plea for help.

I spent FIVE hours looking for guidance with recovering an important Word document I mistakenly deleted and the last important page was not saved. I've also learned not to trust those trial downloads and something told me the solution, if possible, was not complicated. Looking for a way to help myself, I stumbled on this site and your reply.

Guess what, it took you SEVEN lines (of varying lengths) to write a rather insensitive and rude reply when someone wrote you for help when you could have taken far less time to write ONE stink'n line with the simple answer. That's assuming you even knew the answer.

Luckly, there were a few people on here kind enough to offer correct information.

You must have flunked MS Word MVP "consulting" school. Any professional knows that at times, you give help for the little things to EARN and build credibility. This way they get a "sample" of your expertise, your bedside charm (also lacking) and you've truly earned their business and the right to charge them a fee for your services.

That grateful person will more than likely come back to you for the bigger ticket more in-dept help at another time and probably wouldn't hesitate to pay your consulting fee.

But you wouldn't know this because most likely you slept through the part of the MS Word MVP consulting training... you know, the part where they teach you as a professional MS MVP how to market your services and win customers. The big MS title doesn't buy your much respect. How you treat people does.

Time for you to return to MS school for a refresher course. Word of advice... stay awake this time.
