Word Cannot Open a Saved Document

[thyde9337]

Whilst using Word to try to continue writing a saved document the document disappeared when an unknown key was accidentally pressed. According to the files listing, the file was still saved, however, only a blank document is downloaded from the files listing. If the folder "My Documents" is opened from the Desktop, the file is listed with a file size of about 19k and, if the cursor is moved over the filename, the first sentence of the original document is displayed indicating that the contents are correctly saved somewhere in the computer. This problem only occurs with one file.

The program used is Microsoft Word 2000 (9.0.2720) on my Dimension 4100

Please can anyone tell me how the correct file can be located and downloaded?

What is the file type? If you can change the file type to what it's meant to be, that may work.
