I hope someone out there can help me! I am working on a manuscript and
recieved via email and edited version with tracked changes. I was working on
the paper yesterday and saving diligently (although I didn't back it up on a
separate disk). we had a brown out but I was able to recover the document and
continue working on it. This morning I opened up the main folder I use to
store it and related files in and decided to do some organizing. I created a
subfolder and placed the document in it. From that point on I was unable to
open the file. I get a message stating that I am denied access to the file.  
I can however access files I placed in other subfolders created moments
before.
so far
I have checked the properties on the document and the folder. The folder is
read only but when I go to change it to apply to the folder I am denied
access.
I have rebooted in safe mode and attempted to access the file from the other
user accounts with no luck.
I cannot open it through word and the document is not on the most recently
opened list.
I would really like to gain access to the file considering the amount of
work I put into it yesterday. I am about to give birth too and am running up
against an unpredicable time table therefore starting over is really not an
option.

I would really be appreciative of any help you can give me.
thanks!
