Re: CONVERT CORRUPTED FILE IN MSWORD INTO A WORD DOCUMENT



NO I was working with the file stored on HDD(drive D). Even today I had few
problems of the same nature. The file being edited seems to be lost and in
its place a temp file with filename starting as ~wrm00234.tmp is created.
Original file is lost. Though I tried to rename this temp file to .doc , it
gives an error that the file is being accessed by someone else on the network
or filename is wrong or pathname is incorrect.

ALWAYS work directly from the hard drive. .

Currently I was editing a word file, suddenly I got a error message
and the file disappeared. Later after re-starting the system a file
with a name as ~WRL002.tmp if created with few bytes and another
file with 2 kb size as link file.

My problem is how can I get back the orifinal file. though I tried to
rename the above file(~WRL002.tmp ) as a .doc file It is not
possible. I get a error that " Make sure that the disk is not full or
write-protected and that the file is not currently in use"

Solutions for the above is appreciated.
