HELP!!! I'M IN TROUBLE!!!

Usually my comp saves work automatically. My power just went out after being
on publisher for 2hrs working on a project. I restarted my comp when power
came on only to find that all my hard work has been lost. Does anyone one
have a secret as to if it can be found somewhere on my computer-restoring or
something. I have no idea but often hear about people who have lost files as
comp has crashed and they where able to save lost work etc. Help is really
appreciated and reallllllly needed. Thanks heaps

Unless you had been occasionally manually clicking on the Save icon on the
tool bar, nothing has been saved to the hard drive.

Click Start > Run
Type "%temp%" (without the quotes), and click OK
Look for files named pub*.tmp (* is a wildcard), rename any you find to
pub*.pub (changing the extension), and open them in Publisher.
If you're lucky one of these files will be your lost document.
