Hello,

I lost a multi-page Word document from my USB drive. After recovering the "hidden" file in the form of ~WRL93939.tmp (temporary file), despite my attempts to change the .TMP extension to .DOC, it doesn’t work. When opening the file in Word, I end up with a series of yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy on all pages.

Your help would be very valuable to me, and I thank you in advance. Thank you very much!

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0

Have you tried changing the tmp extension to docx instead of doc? Word 2007 now saves its files in DOCX by default.

I tried and it doesn't work. Moreover, I have Word 2003. I'm at risk of losing 15 pages of work that appear in encrypted format with yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Is there another way, in your opinion? Thank you for your help.
