Hello all,

this is my first time posting here, but i have a huge problem regaurding a very important RTF file ive been authoring in wordpad for 5 years now. Ive been adding to this doc for a while, just text, its pretty long, but i realized today opon opening it that the bottom half of it is GONE. i dont understand how this happened, but i need to recover it. Is there a way to recover an old version of it? i basically resave and overwrite it everytime i add something. I have backups of this file but the last one is fairly old. help?

thanks
