Problem : How do I decode a listgal.dat file?

I typed a document in microsoft word office 2007 and didn’t save it.  I tried looking for it in the auto recovery folder, but it is listed as listgal.dat and when I tried to open it in word 2007 there was nothing but symboles. Is there anyway I can access the contents in this folder?

ListGal.dat is not a backup file, it’s something to do with the picture gallery, I think. Autorecovery and Autosave files will have the extension “.asd” or “.wbk”. If you don’t have any recent files with one of those extensions it is unlikely you will be able to recover your work, I’m afraid… sorry!
