J Jay Freedman Oct 3, 2005 #2 I accidentally deleted a word document that had just been completed. Can it be recovered and how? Click to expand... 1. Look in the recycle bin. 2. Look in the same folder for a file named "Backup of <your doc's name>.wbk". This will be present only if you had "Always create backup copy" checked in the Tools > Options > Save dialog, and would be a copy of the document as it was just before the last save. See http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/AutomaticSave.htm for info on this. If neither of those works, and you have no other backup, then you're out of luck.
