Oh, son of a bitch! I rewrote one of my Out Of Bounds scenes last night, putting a lot of work into it.

Apparently after a Firefox crash (I am not impressed with the latest version of Firefox) either WG or myself did a shutdown -- without closing Word. The file was recovered... but I thought I had it saved. I shut it.

enname, my changes are all Gone. Gone, gone, gone.

God damn it. I've really struggled with this scene. I can't believe it's gone.

If it was recovered, it could still be in the cache. Have you checked your temporary file?

I'll look. Where would something like that be? There's something called the temp file in my Windows folder, and inside that's a file called temporary internet files. There's nothing in either location, so I'm hoping I'm wrong about where this could be.

There should be a C:\temp file, if so, check in there. Last option I can think of is to check C:\Program Files\MSWord(or MS Office, depending)\temp. If it's not in either of those places, I'm afraid it's really, truly gone.

Okay. I've gone through every file called temp on my system. Thank you for your help. It does appear to be gone.
