Often there are situations that do not allow you to save the desired document in time in the Microsoft Office program. They can be caused by a power outage, a malfunction of the operating system, or forgetfulness of the user. So that the work does not go to waste, it is necessary to restore the document.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - the version of Microsoft Office in which the file was created.
Instructions
Step 1
Install the "AutoSave" feature in Microsoft Office beforehand. It is provided by the program and allows you to return the desired file by means of a backup. The program runs regularly after a certain period of time. This means that you have the opportunity to run any of the automatically saved versions, which for one reason or another were not manually saved by you.
Step 2
Set in "autosave" a certain time, after which the file will be saved by itself. In addition, enable the option "Keep the last autosaved version if the file was closed without saving" in the settings. After connecting and activating these functions, if you unintentionally close an unsaved file, you will be able to restore a document (that is, its latest version), which the program remembers automatically.
Step 3
Open a Microsoft Office program where you were unable to save a specific file. For example, Microsoft Office 2010 may prompt you to use the unsaved version of the document immediately upon opening. The options will be displayed on the left side of the open program. This also applies to Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Power Point, and Microsoft Excel, as well as other applications.
Step 4
If a document cannot be recovered using standard methods for any reason, use auxiliary programs such as Smart Data Recovery, R-STUDIO NE, etc. For example, Smart Data Recovery after installation will allow you to recover in the future not only document files, but and audio and video recordings, clips, archive files.
