[comp.sys.mac] Word Temp Files and Recovery

prabhu@amelia.nas.nasa.gov (Dinesh K. Prabhu) (10/14/89)

    Could some knowledgeable netter help me with a problem with MS Word 4.0?
    The problem is receovering a file after a system crash. I noticed that
    the file containing the changes is stored in the System Folder as a Word
    Temp file. How does one recover these changes ? The recovery procedure is
    not outlined in the manual :-(. I would appreciate it if you could e-mail
    your suggestions. Thanks in advance

  To open a Word Temp file (and thus recover a document after a crash),
hold down the shift key while choosing Open. This will display a list of
all files (even including applications) in the dialog box and allow you
to open any of these files as a text file.
