In the dialog box that appears, click on the file you need to recover to highlight it and then click on Open.NOTE: You can also select File - Recent and then click on Recover Unsaved Documents at the bottom right corner of the screen. (In Excel, this is called Recover Unsaved Workbooks and in PowerPoint it’s called Recover Unsaved Presentations). In the program you’re working in, select the File menu and click on Info from the left-hand menu.New files you’ve developed that haven’t yet been saved can be recovered by completing the following steps: Ensure that both Save AutoRecover information every XX minutes and Keep the last autosaved version if I close without saving are checked.In each program, select the File menu and click on Options from the left hand menu.In order to do this, however, you need to make sure Office is configured to auto recover and auto save your documents. When creating documents in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, Office can automatically save documents in a temporary location so you can retrieve the file in the event it is prematurely closed. Luckily, several programs in Microsoft Office 2010 provide us with a safety net for those occasions when we lose what we’ve created. Regardless, it is a disheartening feeling to think that all that hard work was just flushed down the drain in an instant. Perhaps you deliberately closed the program, but accidentally hit Don’t Save instead of the Save button (I know I’ve done that before). Once everything is back up and running, panic sets in as you realize you didn’t save your work. Csikszentmihalyi would approve.It’s a sad and frustrating occurrence that happens to the best of us…you’re working hard to wrap up a document due by the end of the day when your computer crashes, the lights go out, or the program you’re working in just locks up unexpectedly. When crashes happen, 2 minutes of re-writing will be sub-optimal, but will hopefully fail to break your creative flow. This way, when future incidents occur, the most you can possibly lose is 2 minutes of work. I recommend setting the Save autorecover information every value to 2 minutes. You can make the duration between autosaves as small as 1 minute, but when working on long and complex documents (e.g., a dissertation or scholarly article) sometimes the autosave process itself can disrupt your flow, especially on older, slower computers. In the Save options section (from Step 2 above), reduce the duration between autosaves. Voila! Your document is back, and at most you've only lost the last 10 minutes of work. asd file until you find the one that contains your missing work. If no file in the directory has the expected file name, open each. asd file may not even have an intelligible filename (e.g., "~prj383.asd"). If the document was new and never saved, the filename will be something like "Autorecovery save of Document1.asd." If the document was already manually saved, but you lost intervening work between saves, it will have the name of the saved document (e.g., "Autorecovery save of Rob's Grocery List.asd"). At this point, you should see one (or more) files with the extension. In the file type dropdown list, select All Files (*.*). Step 3: Open the appropriate autorecovery file Place your cursor in the File name box and press CTRL+V to paste the path to the autorecover file location. Open Microsoft Word, and select File | Open. Step 2: Navigate to the autorecover file location from within Word
In the Save options section, highlight the path in the Autorecover file location box and press CTRL+C to copy the path. (In Office 2007, click on the Office Orb, then Options.) In the left-hand column, select Save. In Office 2010, click on File | Options to bring up the Word Options dialog box. Step 1: Locate the Word autorecover file location Thankfully, if autosave is active (and it is, unless you manually turned it off), your work is probably not lost. When opening Word after a failure, you may have seen the Document Recovery window appear, offering to open the last autosaved version of your document.ĭocument Recovery has saved me countless hours of lost work over the years, but sometimes Word doesn't realize that a crash has occurred, or something else prevents Document Recovery from opening automatically. Fortunately, modern versions of Microsoft Word contain features to minimize lost work when crashes happen. When writing, nothing breaks Csikszentmihalyi-style flow more quickly or completely than losing work to a BSOD or unexpected power outage.
