I was updating a large Excel file today with many manual entries and did the
ultimate mistake of failing to save periodically. Big rainstorm and
electricity shut down. Are there any hidden temporary files floating around
someplace (such as cache or some other strange filename) where I might find a
backup of a recent copy of it? I tried searching for files modified today
and files with "~" in the filename, but found nothing I could recognize.
