Re: Can it be recovered???

I have a Mac utility called 'Text Sucking Leech' that will extract
text form ANY file. Word files are often inflated by keeping previous
version stored WITHIN the current document itself.

I can't find a web location for downloading the TSL but ANY text
editor MIGHT be able to pry open the 'hidden' text in the word doc.
(If it's there)


good luck

I could attach the Text Sucking Leech to a message if you'd like

Is there any way to recreate the document as it was
before the last saving? My computer is still on. What
software would make the recovery possible? I read
that criminal investigators often recover deleted files.
