Is it possible to recover a standard text file done in Notepad?

Somehow again, on another computer, instead of saving the whole file, only the end salutation survived. It was a lengthy file, got saved numerous times, but now only is two words long.

Is there a place I can go to get one of or the last saved version? Nothing shows in the Recycle bin. It was done in the My Documents file folder, but are these files saved someplace else?

Not really. Your only chance is some file recovery program (Norton system works has an Unerase) and only this will work if you've not used the machine much since.
