When this happens Word usually automatically saves the file but uses a
different
name, which often begins with a tild followed by a dollar sign eg:
~$samuel.doc
it should be in the same folder so check the folder for files with an unusual
name but of a similar size to your missing document; Word refers to these files
as "Recovered" files. Also use Explorer to search your hard drive for the file
in the event that it may have been saved or moved to a different location /
path. Also look in C:\Windows\Temp folder

I have a Dell computer and I am writing a book. I am running
Microsoft Word 97. Yesterday while I was printing some pages, I
tried to close the document so I could save it to disk. It gave me a
message saying Word encountered a problem. I got that "End Program"
dialog box. I thought I did whatever was necessary not to lose the
document, but I was wrong; it is gone!
The title still shows up at the bottom of my file menu on a blank
Word document but when I try to open it I get a message saying "the
document or path is not valid."
I've got to believe that my book is still hiding somewhere on my
computer. Please help me. Of course, I looked in the Recyle Bin; I
also did a global search and came up with nothing.
I am feeling desperate as I have been working on this book for a
long time, so I will appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank You,
Mark (a.k.a. "Samuel")
