A:

Need more info. How do you think you lost a Word Document?

 

Try Easy Find, Search program, and search for *.doc*. That will turn up all Word Docs with both the .DOC and .DOCX extension on your complete hard drive.

 

If it is truly lost, Deleted, then you are basically SOL. Unless you do have a recent TM backup that has that file included.

 

As for recovering it from TM do a search for Pondini TM FAQs.
