Word pad

I have told you twice that it is in the File Open dialog. On the File menu,
select Open. This opens the Open dialog. In the lower left corner, you will
see a box labeled "Files of type." Click the down arrow and scroll down to
"Recover Text from Any File." This option was added in Word 97, I believe.
If you have an older version, you will not see it.

Thank You for getting back to me, I had alook in the "Files of Type" and
"Recover Text from any File" is not in there, all I have is Word for

Sharon: It sounds like you've got a Word file, but you do NOT have Word on
your machine. Why don't you email it to me at Anne@ (and then the website
right below my name, not the www. part, tho). When you email it, include
everything you want to change on the document, and I will change it, and
send it back to you as a PDF file, which you *should* be able to open.

Hope it helps!

Dear Suzanne,
I got an e-mail attachment, an .rtf file of a proposed book-review, quite
long, 16 pages. I downloaded it and made extensive corrections to it. I
saved the corrections as an .rtf file then went to send them back to the
author and couldn't find the file. I reaccessed it from my work bar at the
bottom of the screen - I was working on it in Word - and resaved it as a word
document. Now I can't find either file to reattach and send. The files were
saved in a folder called kb2rock5 underLocal Disk c:, Documents and Seeings,
User, Local Settings, Temporary Internet, Conlum.IES (sorry I can't read my
writing), but I can't get past User to Local Settings when I search that way.

Afraid you wasted your time and LOST all your work.
The folder you desribed is a TEMP folder and is likely gone.

In the future, when somebody sends you an email attachment of a file you
intend to keep or work on?
Save it to a local folder, do NOT open it from your email software.
Then go to the local folder and open with the software that is
compatible.
