Hi
Working onimac in WORD with a big document. When I pressed command H the doc went to its folder on desktop and will not reopen. How do I fix that , ie make it reopen.
What did command H do? when I click on the doc it will not reopen.
I may have hit control H like on a PC (to bring me to the top of the first page= home).
If so, how would I fix that . Need to open a very big doc and keep working.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Command-H hides the document. Command-Tab brings you back to Microsoft Word. Your document isn't lost. You just simply switched to the Finder. In Microsoft's infinite wisdom, they didn't make command-H the same as minimize, and hence why you are probably lost. It doesn't minimize the window to the dock, which would make it easier to access. Don't use command-H unless you really want to hide and switch applications. This discussion explains alternatives.

Thanks. What I did was to go to the doc and right clicked and it allowed me to make a copy. Then the copy opened and I continued with the editing. Don't know if the copy will open later but I left it reduced and also sent a copy of it on an email so I can retrieve it from there if needed.
Thanks for the info on reprogramming the Command H. What does Control H do on a iMac?
imac-when pressed command H, word doc was locked .can't open. What to do?
