How do I find something that was not saved?

I am workning in Publisher 2003. I was working on a project that I
accidentially closed without saving. I was asked to save but chose no. Is
it possible to retrieve that document know? It was the last thing I was
working n.

If you didn't save it, there's nothing to find. Sorry. (Try to develop the
habit of saving a file often. And before you hit that "no" button - stop and
think twice before you do.)

If you're very VERY lucky there will be files in the temp folder. Start >
Run, type %temp%, click OK. Look for files beginning in pub and ending in
..tmp. Rename them so that they end in .pub, and try opening them in
Publisher. However, as you closed down Publisher correctly, it's doubtful
that they will be there.

Moral of the story: Save Early Save Often!
