It isn\u2019t until you lose a very important document moments before\u00a0a deadline that you truly get in the habit of compulsively saving documents. I\u2019d be lying if I said I didn\u2019t sometimes accidentally try and save the tab I currently have open in my browser but I\u2019d rather be safe than sorry. If you have however had the misfortune of your computer crashing, or accidentally hitting \u2018Don\u2019t save\u2019 when closing a document when you meant to save it, there\u2019s a way to recover it. It works even if you don\u2019t have file history enabled in Windows because the recover feature is in MS Word itself.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve closed a document you were working on and didn\u2019t save it. Open a blank Word file and go to File>Info. Next to Versions, you will see a large square with a drop-down that reads Manage Versions.<\/p>\n

Open the drop-down and select \u2018Recover unsaved documents\u2019 and it will open a dialog box showing the many unsaved files it can recover. During tests, it managed to recover a file that was five days old so it\u2019s not bad.<\/p>\n

The important question here is, will it recover all files no matter what? The answer is No. This is built for emergencies and you should compulsively save documents while you\u2019re working on them. You should also enable file history in Windows. Relying on Word to always recover a lost file isn\u2019t safe simply because there will be a time when it can\u2019t recover it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
