How do I recover a document in Microsoft Word?

Question

I accidently clicked out of it without saving it. Is there any way to recover the document or is it gone?

Yes, I clicked NO.

Answer 1

Microsoft Word will not allow you to just CLICK out of it. It would ask you if you wanted to save the changes to the document. You mean you answered NO to this?

Try clicking on the Undo arrow at the top of the screen. If this doesn't work then your document is gone.

Matters if you have the auto-save mode "on" (in the options tab under tools). If not you might try checking your "recent documents" tab in the start menu (if you opted that function on as well in the properties menu of the start button). Lastly, you could check your trash and retrieve it from there. Good Luck!

Oh, maybe check the "file" menu in MSWord. It may be listed toward the bottom of the drop down menu.

somebody published a hyperlink to my article above so I won't repeat myself, yet in short, regrettably except you have been very fortunate and locate the record in the fast-term folder i'm afraid it is long gone. observe in basic terms assumes you probably did no longer choose it in case you pressed "no". on the comparable web site you will stumble on a hyperlink to somewhat loose application called observe LifeSaver that may help supply up this going on returned. i comprehend it is no longer plenty help now, yet... i will in all probability write a application sometime which directly saves ALL observe documents, no remember in case you had to or no longer, in some particular folder. demanding disks have countless area in recent times, so it is not any huge deal and it might help preclude this from going on - all of us make errors each and every so often...

Answer 5

You must have clicked TWICE, because Word would have asked you if you wanted to close without saving and you would have had to say "OK".

I think it's a goner.

Answer 6

no way of recovering it.. the only way your computer ever saves a file automatically is when your computer crashes and it suddenly restarts. then when you open up the word processing program you were using, it'll open as (your file name)(recovered) or something of the sort...

Answer 8
