Retrieving deleted data

[kiwibob]

I attached a 12 page Word file to an Outlook Express message, but before
sending the email opened the file and deleted all but the first page (as this
was all I wished to attach to the email). Now, after sending the email, I
find when I open the word file there is only the first page. How can I
retrieve the deleted pages?

You would have had to save it to attach it, hence the problem. You saved the
shortened version. If you have the backup option set, you will find a backup
file in the same folder that will be the previously saved version. Hopefully
you haven't saved twice! Otherwise its back to the keyboard.

It depends on how you attach it. I'm pretty sure that if you use File | Send
to | Mail Recipient as Attachment, Word sends the current version (even if
unsaved). For this purpose a temporary file is created. But certainly if you
create an email message in the mail client and then attach the file, it
would have to have been saved.
