Adobe Bridge - Keywords

I had a previous employee who spent an insane amount of time in Adobe Bridge loading in keywords for an image database we have. Is there a way to retrieve these keywords? I don't want to start from scratch.

The keywords panel is empty except for the basic ones that come with the Bridge software download. I am using my own software, since the previous employee has departed te agency.

@Kimberly273531628nfo Ah, there's the issue. The keywords that that person had created were tied to his Adobe account with the various applications. 

 

If I were to log out of my computer and delete the software that I had installed. None of the Workspaces, keywords, etc. would show up for you because they were associated with my account. I do not know under what "clouds" that employee left the company but if they were stormy clouds, you may never see them again. 

 

Sorry

Can you export the keywords from the image database? Are your files still keyworded (so when you look at them in Bridge, it shows those keywords)?

As a starting point, when you say, "retrieve them", have they all been deleted from Bridge so that the Keywords Panel is empty?
