restore/recover document

[Guest]

I cut and pasted a document to an email. When I went to reopen the document
later, it was blank. How do I restore/recover to document?

Unless you have a backup copy, there is nothing you can do, unfortunately.

For future reference, note that for files that have been saved, but not
closed and re-opened, you can usually restore the original contents by using
Undo (Ctrl+Z) repeatedly.

Is there a copy of that email in the sent items folder?

 

[Stefan Blom]

Of course! Good point. Maybe the OP can retrieve the text that was lost, at
least.

It's worth a shot. But I'm prepared to be asked "what's a sent items
folder?" <g>

If you have not cut and paste anything after that, you can still paste it to
a new document or copy it off your email and past it to a new document

Go to edit, click on office clipboard - last 24 items that you cut or copied
will be listed - click on the one that you want to recover and save it.

go to edit - office clipboard - it keeps last 24 copies and cuts - will list
all of them on the right side - click on what you want to retrieve

you can also go to the email that you sent and copy it from the email and
paste it

Peace
