wordpad and in words. It looks like this "?????????????????????????????oh,

Well, you're asking in the wrong place. This newsgroup is for the database
software Microsoft Access.

As Gunny says, you may be in a tough spot. If the document is gone from the
usb drive, it's probably gone for good. There are disk file recovery services
(that start at $300 for just looking) but flash drives are a different
technology, and I don't know if there are any methods to recover lost files.

Try reposting in a Word newsgroup (scroll down the list of subject areas).
It's just faintly possible that this backup copy might be salvagable (if you
didn't save it after opening it in Notepad or Word - if you did, it's almost
surely destroyed now).
