I have a Word Temp file which contains a bunch of text and a couple hours 
worth of equations.  I have been trying to recover the equations w/o much
luck.  The text was easy to get back, but the equations are a whole different
story.  The euqations are now a series of text strings which look as though
they contain font and position information.  MS tech support offered a 
suggestion of placing the RTF header at the beginning of the file and let word
translate the text info back into the equation.  Did not work.

Has anyone ever recovered equation info from a temp file?  If so how?

Thanks!
