Publisher File Recovery

[blkhwks19]

I was recently workiong on a project in Publisher that I had saved at the
very beginning. I worked for a long time without saving then had the computer
crash. Is there any way to recover the changes I had made leading up to the
crash (or at least partial changes?)

Go to your Temp folder by clicking Start > Run, typing "%temp%" (without the
", with the %) and clicking OK.

Look for files beginning with PUB and ending with .tmp. These will not have
a Publisher icon. Copy them all to your desktop. Rename them one at a time
so that they have a .pub extension, and try to open them with Publisher.
You may get lucky.
