crash lost HELP

[Stella]

I am working with publisher 2007 and large files of 150MB. With three files
it crashed closing my file!!!! and then when you are trying to open it again
it says 'publisher has detected a problem in the file uyou are trying to
open. If you are certain that this file came from a trusted....' and then the
file is lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would there be a temp. file somewhere? I do
not want to believe that this is happening three times to me and all this
work is lost!? Who can help

In 2007 there are a couple places the file could be backed up. Do you have
Vista?

Open Windows Explorer, type %temp% in the address bar, look for any file with a
pub prefix, change the .tmp to .pub and cross your fingers.

If you have Vista, look in this folder too
C:\Users\<<user name>>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Publisher
