I'm guessing she was doing it in Office? If so then open Microsoft Word or whatever she was using back up and there'll be a fairly recent, if not, latest 'backup' of it that word saved automatically.

where is the backup? i dont really understand what you are saying? how do i open it?

Within some MS Word temporary files.

--Edit--
Hmm, just saw you said it's MS works. I'm not sure if this has the recover feature. Open up the word processor anyway, it may have the recovery feature.

nopeit doesnt she says. Anything else. Is ther not a folder that works would save it into anyway, just maybe not show you you can load it or sometinhG?

Which version? It appears that autosave and autorecovery features were only introduced to MS Works in version 8 (i.e. the latest version)

why use Works? .

cos she isn't too smart with computers and is too lazy to change
