HELP

[Guest]

I was working on a paper, and i had an old paper also open in microsoft word for reference to the new paper. i clicked on the "x" to what i thought was my old paper that was already saved, but it turned out to be the one i had been working on for the whole night. the box came up that asks you if you want to save the changes you have made, so i thought that i must have changed the old one somehow so i clicked "no." come to find out it was my new one and i had not saved it yet. is there ANYTHING i can do to get that paper back? any places it might be that i dont know of. please help

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TGVhbm5l?=,

I was working on a paper, and i had an old paper also open in microsoft word for reference to the new paper. i clicked on the "x" to what i thought was my old paper that was already saved, but it turned out to be the one i had been working on for the whole night. the box came up that asks you if you want to save the changes you have made, so i thought that i must have changed the old one somehow so i clicked "no." come to find out it was my new one and i had not saved it yet. is there ANYTHING i can do to get that paper back?

Probably not, no, since you had never saved it, even once.

This happens to all of us, at one time or another. I've learned the hard way to press Ctrl+S every time I pause to think or take a sip of whatever beverage I have at hand...
