Another possibility - if you have access to Norton Utilities, "Get info" for a good word processing file (same type as the one your trying to recover) using Norton (not Apple's "Get Info"). Note the items checked at the bottom of the window, inits, type, etc. Keep that window open for reference. Norton should also be able to "Get Info" on the "hidden" file. When that window is up, change the settings to match the good file, save. See if you can open it after that. I'm not sure how the location of it may affect this.

Ok, how do I recover these? I've got two word processing files that have
ended up somehow in an invisible folder on my 5300c, running 8.1.
They're in a file marked (dot)TP2(dot)TrashCache.
These are minutes of a governmental body and I need them for record keeping. IOW: Help! :)
