I just lost the entire block of text I was typing while trying to explain these charts. I was using Microsoft Word, just typing away normally. I’m pretty sure I hit save properly, but... nothing. It's gone. And get this—I actually copied it over to a thumb drive just to be safe, but when I plug the stick in, the exact same thing happens. It's like it vanished into thin air. Absolute madness. Thanks for the help.
I was basically just doing a lazy copy-paste job with my charts. Now I’m realizing I totally botched the execution. And honestly, I still can't wrap my head around how the text just vanished into thin air mid-process... what even happened there? Anyway, what’s the actual best way to move stuff from Excel over to Microsoft Word without being tethered to the original Excel file forever? I just want the chart itself sitting pretty in Microsoft Word. Thanks for any help. 🙂
My apologies if this topic already exists, but I’m in a total panic right now and desperately need some help.
So, here’s the situation: I finished my senior thesis and saved it. A few days later, I realized all the charts I had pasted in from Excel were just... gone. I assumed it was because I hadn't kept the original Excel file handy, so I did what any sane person would do—I fixed the damage, rewrote the entire thing, and sat down tonight to polish a few final details before sending it off to my professor. But when I opened the document, it looks exactly like it did the first time the charts disappeared. I am 100% certain I saved everything properly because I opened and closed the file several times that day.
Is there any way on earth to recover what I wrote? If not, please tell me where I went wrong, because I absolutely cannot let this happen again!
I'm running Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2007.
