I forgot to save a Word doc

Like Datura, I just closed a document and notes lost a number of meetings. Is it possible to recover the text that I forgot to save? He lives in all tmp files or anywhere at all? No hope for me on this?

Hello pburrowsalameda,

Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

There may be a good possibility that the document with the changes went if you closed the file without choosing to save it first. Please save the file in its current state until more data may be lost. If you find the file with the information you need in there, then you can go on the storage of each of them for future reference if necessary.

It is possible that the document is automatically saved. Have you looked at the file in question and determined that the information that you added are not there? Depending on the version of Vista you have, you may be able to use the shadow copy of Volume, otherwise known as Previous Versions in the file properties.

Volume Shadow Copy (Previous Versions) is available in the following operating systems.

1 Vista Business

2 Vista Business

3. Vista Ultimate

If you have one of the above versions of Vista, then you can right click on the file in question, then select properties from the context menu. Click the previous Versions tab to see if we could match the date where the information that you have added to the file might still be there.

* Previous versions come from Windows backup or restore points *.

 

Please let us know if that helps.

  • Save a Word Doc from desktop in Windows Works word processor

    Last week, the ability to save a document, Word of Windows works as an Office Word Document (doc) has disappeared from the choices in the Save as drop down in my Windows program, it works.  The only options that remain now are works (wks), Rich Text, only text and HTML.  In the year and a half, I had this laptop and Windows Vista with works that I was always able to save as doc when I send a document to those who have the office window--suddenly it is no longer possible.  I looked everywhere to see if there is an option where I can add the 'doc' save option back without success.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  • I get an error that Word (running locally but is Office 365) has stopped working when I try to save a word.doc to a .pdf file?

    Why does the word end when I try to save a .pdf file?

    I assume you are using the Save in format PDF Adobe Acrobat CC feature.

    If this is the case, the problem is in the code of Microsoft for which an update was issued the week last by Microsoft. Update your Office 365 and the problem should go away.

  • ? How can I work on my MacBook Word Docs on my iPad?

    I just bought an iPad because I'll be traveling abroad and will not take my MacBook Pro with me since it is my main computer. I used Word for my teaching documents. I bought an iPad, so I can work on them while traveling. The Apple seller assured me that this would not be a problem. However, I can't figure out how to get my Word Docs on the iCloud MacBook in order to access it from my iPad. I have read several posts on the forum, but I have still not found the answer probably because they are dated. It said, for example, save my Word Docs in the Section "Documents and data" icloud. But I didn't not just on mine. I just did the last software update on my MacBook Pro and just bought my iPad last Friday.

    I would really appreciate help on this. I want to return my iPad in the period of 14 days full refund if it in fact that is impossible, because this is the reason why I bought the iPad.

    Thank you :-)

    Don't know if you're aware, but if you use Word on the MacBook and iPad, you can either save in iCloud or OneDrive. As you use Microsoft Word, you will find easier to use Microsoft OneDrive - but their isn't a huge difference and either will work.

    If you use Microsoft Office for Mac 2016 on the MacBook, you can save on OneDrive by clicking "Online sites" in the file menu in Word to save the window. If you want to save on iCloud you must make sure that the menu Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud unit is running. It's also a good idea to go in the Finder preferences > sidebar and put a checkmark in front of iCloud Drive in the Favorites section of this window. When you save a document in Word 2016 on your Mac, you can then click iCloud Drive in the side bar of the Finder window and save on iCloud drive.

    Hi lake1998,

    When you save a document format, you are talking about OCR or optical character recognition.  The 3512 Deskjet will allow you to save the files analyzed in the formats listed, but it doesn't have a built in OCR.

    This thread has identified solutions that may work for you.

  • How can I embed fonts in MS Word doc sent to somene

    Hi all.  I installed and used a font that I downloaded on the Internet.  Everything is good.  Documents look great, and normally I create PDF files from Word documents.  But, when I send a Word Doc (not PDF) that has my custom font (Ubuntu, it's the police anyone is wondering) is not "coming through" to the recipient.  End result is that the recipient opens the Doc they can't read the text.  I had described me as looking like a cursive, but unreadable font.

    El Capitan

    Word for Mac 15.22.1

    I saw something "Save using an embedded font" and a checkbox when registering, but I don't see that in my version of Word for Mac.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks a ton.

    Word does not incorporate fonts. You will need to send it with the document, or save it in PDF format and send that.

    Hello

    -What operating system is installed on your computer?
    -What version of Microsoft Word you are using?

    I suggest you to follow these steps and check if they help.

    a. save image scanned in *.gif, *.jpeg.

    b. open this image in paint, go to ' file-> save under "and name it"xyz.tiff"in" TIFF ".

    c. go to "Start-> programs-> Microsoft Office-> Microsoft Office Document Imaging Tools"

    d. go in "file-> open" and open your scanned document that has been saved in *. TIFF format.

    e. go in ' tools-> send text Word.» You will get a prompt indicating that this process will take time, click OK. This will take some time depending on the speed of your computer (a minute or two at the most).

    f. when it's done, it will open Microsoft word on its own, and the scanned document will be in editable mode.

  • Cannot find Word doc that has been saved as an attachment

    I myself have sent an e-mail with a word doc attached.  Opened in Word 2007, make the changes and click "Save" (not "save under").  Seems to be working, no error message from the word and no warning when you quit word.  Now ICAN can't find the document anywhere on the computer.  Even tried looking for a keyword within the document and only found the original version, attached to the email.

    If the file was really saved, where is he?

    His loss.  You must save an attachment of office and then work on it.  WinMail is not an office application, so it does not allow to edit attachments, you must first save it.
