Hi Guys

My Mates girlfriend's sister has just lost her entire results page for her dissertation:eek:.

Word

She has lost 9 pages of her main dissertation. Its her main results page and shes meant to be handing it in tomorrow. But sadly shes mananged to lose it all!! Basically my sister was working on her dissertation word doc and kept saving then closed it. She realised the doc name had changed to rescue before she closed it but thought nothing of it. When she closed this she couldnt get it back. All she has left is this recue.doc enclosed. The prob is its all code! Is there any way of making it make sense?

I have tried to open this using Word 2003 but it comes up with a message: This file was created by a newer version of Microsfot Word and a convertor is needed to open it. Do you want to down the convertor from the Microsoft Office Web site?

I have downloaded the office 2007 compatibility pack but I am still getting the same message. So I was wondering if a Word 2007 user could try and open this file and see if it is recoverable? I can email the file if anyone can help?

Thanks
 
check in word to see where the autorecover folder is, and check there for a possibly working copy
 
Trying a few things now. Here's a link worth looking at:

(Edit: I've recovered some stuff, and emailed back. It's without any formatting that may have been applied, including tables, but it's probably better than nowt!)
