hi everyone, i was doing a film review for my college coursework when i had a few messages pop up at various points when i was trying to save saying things like its being used by another program (which it wasnt) and wouldnt save but let me save it as a different file type, another saying something about a door may not be closed? and finally an error saying word needed to close data will be lost.

the work was only saved on my memory stick not the computer but there is loads of files on My Computer> HDD C

one of these is called Rescued document 3.txt and contains about half the word count of my original.

there is lots of other symbols and question marks though, does this mean the data is gone permenant or can i restore it somehow?

Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of save.asd is written in the document a few times but there is no Microsoft under application data when i look only a folder called google dont know if this is relevant though?

Please help i have asked in another forum but got ignored any help will be much appreciated, thanks, chris
