I saved a word file after spending hours on it, with no problems then the computer crashed and i had to restart it, but when i come to open the file it comes up with word needs you to select a codeing (ie western or MS-Dos) and the text is all in squares, lines and basicly i cant use this file, the word backup option was not selected so cant use the backup. is there anyway i can retriev the data or is it a lost cause

thanks

When you try to open the document in Word from it's source file on the hard drive, you will notice a drop down arrow at the right of the Open button, clicking on the arrow will give options such as "Recover text from any file” Later versions have "Open and Repair".

Good luck.
