How do I ressurect a file I did not save in Word 2007? Jackie 10/5/2008 5:43:01 AM I was doing a school assignment and thought I hit save and apparently didn't. I know the file was saved every so often while I was working on it. Is there anyway to find those files?

There is no autosave function in Word (unless you add one - http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm ) so the only way the document would be saved is if you saved it yourself. If you did so, the last saved version will be on your hard drive. If you didn't save it then it is gone. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Jackie wrote: [Quoted Text] > I was doing a school assignment and thought I hit save and apparently > didn't.

Re: How do I ressurect a file I did not save in Word 2007? Jackie 10/7/2008 10:48:00 PM In Word 2007 when I am working on a document I see a notice pop up every so often that says the file is being saved. I don't know where it's being saved to though. I just re-did the document I was looking for because I couldn't find it anywhere. Luckily I remembered most of what I had written.

Re: How do I ressurect a file I did not save in Word 2007? "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 10/8/2008 6:49:14 AM The document is not being saved. It is the auto recovery information that is saved. This is deleted when the document is closed. If the document was saved it would be in the recent files list. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Jackie wrote: [Quoted Text] > In Word 2007 when I am working on a document I see a notice pop up > every so often that says the file is being saved.

Re: How do I ressurect a file I did not save in Word 2007? Jackie 10/8/2008 10:46:01 PM Thanks, that is good to know. It gives you a false sense of security though. I don't think that's quite right somehow. :) "Graham Mayor" wrote: [Quoted Text] > The document is not being saved. It is the auto recovery information that is > saved.
