How can i turn a tmp into a doc.?

Question

I spent 3 days doing a 45 page project for my A-levels, saving it at regular intervals, when i last clicked save it came up with an error and deleted the file.
on windows. I went to tools > folder options > view hidden files

and there was a tmp file which is the same file size as my project was, is there anyway i can turn that into a doc ?

Answer 1

try right clicking on the file, and view the properties. Uncheck the hidden and read only attributes. Then try to open or rename it. If that doesnt work....

Answer 2

I don't now if these will work, but there are two things I'd try. First, just try opening it and see what word says. Second, copy the tmp file to a new file with a doc extension and try opening it.



Let us know how it turns out.

Answer 3

Open the temp file in your word processor and save it into your directory as a doc. file

Hope this helps
