retrieve a word document.. recovery option in XP?

[Rallispec]

okay.. so my g/f just closed out word and hit don't save instead of save.... she just lost a 4 page paper-- is there anyway to get this back???

 

[PsychoAndy]

sorry ralli, but no. unless she had autosave enabled (check the options menu) i dont believe so.

<------did the exact same thing 20 minutes before a similar 4 page english paper was due with autosave enabled but forgot to specifiy a filename
