![Facebook goes down? [UPDATE - It's up!]](http://www.nofullstop.com/wp/wp-content/themes/thejournal/thumb.php?src=http://www.nofullstop.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/facebook-death1.jpg&h=75&w=135&zc=1&q=90)
Recover Your Word Document (the .doc file)
Accidentally deleted your word document? Improper shutdown happened? Now lets see what can we do to recover your deleted word file. I am assuming that you have checked your recycle bin and searched for the file using the search feature in start menu (remember to search the hidden files too).
- Using the search feature in start menu do the searching for *.asd files. See if you find anything related (*.asd is the file type created by Microsoft for automatic word backup).
- If no positive results are found than perform the same search for *.wbk files. Check files one by one and see if anything similar is available (*.wbk files is the backup file type used for Microsoft Word).
- Nothing found yet? Now search for *.tmp files. Try and modify the modification date of files being searched within last week or so as else you might find many .tmp files in search results. (*.tmp are the temporary files)
- Nothing found yet? Now you are left with the last option. Try a software to recover your files. You might give a try to nfsundelet or undelete plus.
And now I hope you have learned the lesson. Better set MS word to automatically backup your files than to face the same situation again. To automatically backup files go to tools>options and then save tab. Select Always create backup copy.

I know application work in this sphere – recover word, allows users to avoid losing data important for them. Indeed, Microsoft Word is nowadays the most popular tool for creating any documents, including corporate ones, program scans and analyzes the source file. During this process, it extracts any information that can be extracted from it.
