For a piece of coursework in school, I downloaded it from my school system onto my home laptop in order to work on it. As my laptop seems to have a problem with opening downloaded files into Word, I first opening it in Word viewer, then opened it for editing in Word.
I did about 3 hours work and almost completed the work, writing about 3,000 words. I then saved the document to work on it some more the next day. To my horror, when I came to open it today, none of the work I thought I had saved was there, and it was still at the same point it had been when I had first downloaded it originally.
Please help, I will be devastated if I have to do it all over again! I have checked my Temp folder but to no avail 🙁 Thanks!
