Word crashed - how copy the temp file
"Peter Rossiter" wrote in message ... How do I make a copy of a Word file called ~wrl4060.tmp? MS Word lost an important document file when I mistakenly opened the same document twice in rapid succesion. Since then I have closed Word. I see there is a file called ~wrl4060.tmp in the folder where the original document was. It looks like it may be a copy of the orginal. I have tried to copy this file so that if launching Word removes this file then I have a backup of it. The problem is that I can't copy the file. My XP Pro says "access is denied". How can I get around this in order to make a copy? The file attribute is 'Hidden' but I can't change that property because, again, I get "access is denied". I am using administrator rights. This question is better answered in a WORD newsgroup but have you tried simply opening word again without clicking on a file? It may try to load the file as a recovery from error automatically. |

Why not just open the file in Word and Save As?
