Not sure if this is the right conference but I need help! Word 97 just ate my final exam for a course I'm taking. This is the situation. I am running Windows 95 at home and NT 4.0 here at work. On both machines I have Office 97 loaded (which I am removing as soon as possible!). I started writing my final at home and saved it to floppy disk. In a moment of complete stupidity I did not save it on the hard drive. I brought the floppy into work yesterday opened the file and did some more work,. Again I saved it to floppy and did not save it to the hard drive. When I tried to open the file at home last night WORD could not open the file. Instead I got the following eror message: "Word cannot open the document. Try one or more of the following: On the File menu, click Open to open the document. Make sure that the document has a .DOC extension." None of htat works. When I just tied to open the document again here at work, so I could get the error message, the system crashed. Nothing seems to work. I need to access this file. I don't care if it's through word or anything else. Is there any way to recover the data on this disk? I don't care what it looks like when I do as long as I have a file I can edit and recover. HELP!!! George
