Lost File Content

[Judith Church]

I have inadvertently deleted the contents of a file in
Word. Possibly by depressing the Control key and one
other. The file is still present but empty. How can I
retrieve the contents?

Hi

If you saved the file at least once, you 'may' be able to get it back. Search Windows Explorer for ~* and see if your file is there.

Hi Judith,

I have inadvertently deleted the contents of a file in
Word. Possibly by depressing the Control key and one
other. The file is still present but empty. How can I
retrieve the contents?

Hit Ctrl + Z, this undoes the last action.

Good luck
