after working for several hours on a word document I accidentaly said NO to saving the changes. I have autosave every 10 minutes - but can't seem to find the temp file
From what I understand, in case of for a example a computer crash , Ausosave will load the last saved version of the document the next time you start Word.
Hit F3 (Find), and look for a file named "Rescued Document.txt"
If Word autosaved your last efforts, it might be in the folder that contained the original Word document.
since the computer did not crash - the computer did not bring up my last auto save version
RE: Hit F3 (Find), and look for a file named "Rescued Document.txt" If Word autosaved your last efforts, it might be in the folder that contained the original Word document.
sorry do not understand the above - if I go to start/find/files and type in Rescued Document.txt
I get no files find. . . hit F3 (find) were and how do I do this
sorry - never took a computer class so not up on all this
Do to the hour last night - I had several word files open and was flipping back and forth getting info - thinking I was closing only the last document I had open and since I did not know if I made changes - I accidentally said no ---- it turns out the only document with changes was the document I am trying to recover
Hitting the 'F3' key on your Keyboard does exactly the same as going to Start/Find/Files or Folders.
It's just a little quicker.
You can also press the Windows key together with the letter F: same result.
But this doesn't solve the problem, I guess.
Your document may be lost altogether.
I decided to go the long way and recreate the document....
Appreciated your suggestions and thoughtfulness in answering my plea for help
God Bless
Have an enjoyable Holiday Season
