Word file missing-always present in recent documents

Hello

I use Word for Mac 2011 and OS X 10.10.5.

I was looking to open a word file this morning and it was gone.

Here's what I've tried:

1 automatic of the files-nothing there

2. temporary files nothing there

3. the record shows recent items in word - but is not where he is supposed to be

4. I saved the computer 7 days ago, (I know I had to do it everyday but I have not :/) - could find a first version of the Time Machine backup, but have invested days in in the meantime - so all the work went

5. I emptied trash when I supported the computer 7 days ago, if I accidentally deleted in the meantime, it should be in the trash

All the tips you have please help - it doesn't feel that it's for me

Thank you

recent documents does not take into account the file exist.

If you select in the list it gives you an error WHERE it is trying to find?

If you emptied the trash and that's where it went but there are 3rd party tools for trying to UN-erase files, but more you empty your trash and use the computer normally less you will be able to recover anything.

is it possible that the file is on a drive flash, not connected external hard drive or network volume or cloud?

  • Recently, some of my saved Word files have changed to DOCX

    original title: Word files saved as DOCX

    Recently some of my saved Word files have changed to DOCX, this is random. When I type a new Word document, it is stored as a DOCX file. How can I fix? My operating system is windows 7 and the 10 Word version.

    Add to what is already said, if you want to make permanent change (that is, all files saved as .doc), then click on (top left of the word) Office button and choose Word Options--> Recording tab and put "save files in this format...". "as a result.

  • List of recent Documents - inch tags as in MS Word & Excel?

    Recent documents list - pine (thumb tags) as in MS Word & Excel from yarn (2010) or logo (2007) on the upper left corner of the application - something like that for Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    I would be grateful if anyone can confirm or advise a protocol to access certain documents of in Acrobat X himself among a list of recent Documents, by allocating a PIN on this subject.

    In MS Word & Excel for example: If you go to file or MS Office logo on the upper left. It will automatically list the most recent documents you open - I think its 50 of them.

    (When you open Adobe Acrobat Pro, it gives you only a list 5 last open... which may have been closed since & ne are not the last that you have closed because they were opened earlier to these.) Also the list of recent documents displays only if you close all documents, then reopen the application - so if you are working in a document and need to open another in the list of recent, you can not)

    In MS Office, you could "pin" some to keep them always on the list of recent documents, until detach them you. The list of recent documents is always available from any document of the application.

    This allows you to open a bunch of documents that you work or work frequently various folders without moving from their current locations or trying a search function to find them.

    I'm sorry if my explanation is not so clear but see this feature of MS Office-it gives more efficient file access - less time-consuming.

    I searched in the help Adobe Pro X, but could not find a solution that could enable this function to achieve... If anyone has a solution that can accommodate this function... .Please help!

    (Sometimes for changes in discs or Windows updates or the platform or applications to install restart... his galley to find all pdf documents you were working on and then reopen.)

    I don't know if he is an assistant that I can put in place to open these files again once I open Acrobat Pro X - just a thought.

    Something in the settings preferences-maybe, maybe...?

    Thank you!

    You can get Acrobat, but if you have Windows 7, then you can

    do it on the OS level.

  • Microsoft Word 2016 do not open recent documents

    In my previous version of Word, when I launched it would open all the docs that have been left open, when I left. It was really great for helping me to remember what I was working on when I stopped changed my Mac.

    It seems to be controlled in the system preferences of Mac (not in MS Word preferences.) In the General preferences pane, I deselected 'Close the windows when you exit an application', but still it does not reopen what was open when I quit Word. I have to go in my recent documents and reopen all individually in my last session.

    Someone knows how to fix this? (This does not really seem like the community just to publish on, but I can't seem to find an appropriate place.)

    If it is not a direct solution, if you have the word preserved in the Dock, even when closed, you can right-click on it to get the list of recently used files and open like that.

  • can not clear 'my recent documents' drop files on the start menu

    Can't erase my files in the 'My recent documents' from the drop down on the start menu

    You didn't say what you tried to do (you did not also what version of Windows you have, including service pack level).

    Assuming you have some variety of Windows XP, the usual procedure is to right-click on the Start button, select Properties, click the Start Menu tab, click the Customize button, then finally click 'Clear list' or if you use the XP Menu, click the Advanced tab, then click on "Clear list."

  • Cannot delete file titles in recent documents once the file has been deleted

    When I delete a file in Word or Excel 2007, I'm not able to remove the name of the file in the recent Documents list.  When I right-click, I am not given the choice to delete.  When I click on the name of the file, I get a message saying the file is not found, but I'm not able to remove the display.  I asked teachers in vocational school education 2007 and even asked a HP technical support, when I got on the phone for another problem.  No one has the answer.

    Can anyone help?

    This is a feature of Word 2007.  You can't delete a file of recent Documents.
    Work around: pin any other files in recent Documents, save a new file and unlock files.  This will push the unwanted list file.

  • Failed to sync files - missing the most recent version of the file

    I have two files in the cloud: my Lightroom Catalog and previews file support and work between my desktop and laptop. I have not opened the file LR catalog of the workstation from the 3/10, but have used in on my laptop at all times. After you install the updates today, he asked me to sign the creative cloud, which I did. When I look at my creative cloud file, my two files had been replaced by the OLD version of the file on the desktop, changed the 3/10. The most recent version, current disappeared that I worked for a month. None of the work I did on Lightroom, hours and hours, no longer appears. Please help me find the latest version of my file!

    Also: it does not appear on the files "Archived" on my account. The last archived version was 3/10. If the file I used for the past month, never synced to the cloud, why it has been replaced by an older version of the file?

    With the recent update of the application of Creative Cloud Desktop (1.9.1.474), we have unfortunately introduced a bug that causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder and re-synchronization of all content. This will happen only the first time that the synchronization application runs after the update. This caused an understandable pain and confusion, for which we really apologize.

    Creative application Cloud Files contains a logic that supports the use of several Adobe ID. This allows to disconnect from an ID and in, but keeps the contents of your separate creative cloud. When you sign out and change identifiers, the app moves the previous creative Cloud Files folder and it's content and he adds with the already signed in ID (User@AdobeID). Then, it creates a main folder and begins to synchronize the content of the identification of new.

    The bug I mentioned earlier occurs, as the app believes an ID selector took place and as such, moves the current record of Creative Cloud Files and attempts to annex the already signed in ID. As no switch actually took place, it manifests as (unknown).  The application then creates a main folder to synchronize the data.

    What you end up with is essentially a creative Cloud Files folder with your new synchronized data and a creative Cloud Files (unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.

    This happens once, after the last update.

    The solution is to simply delete the (unknown) Creative Cloud Files folder.

    I recommend that ensure you that you have no pending change you can do offline and you check the contents of the folder new, main designer Cloud Files contains everything you expect of him.  If this is not the case, check the contents of the creative Cloud files (unknown).

    If there is still an incompatibility with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm that your data is there.

  • "Recent documents" is no longer the fill - how can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    a friend was using my laptop while I was away and decided to 'make things better' by installing MS Security Essentials on my existing anti-virus. This and defragmentation, is apparently all that he has done to speed up performance.

    However, given that these changes were made to windows is no longer seem to be able to save the recently used documents. The recent Documents folder is present and appears in the start menu. However, no document shortcuts are appearing in the records of recent documents.

    In addition both Word and Excel are not updated their own list of files recently used either. The documents, they date before showing changes made to the system and do not reflect the documents used since.

    How can I fix? I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition on an HP laptop

    Thank you

    First check to see if recent Documents is enabled

    Right click on the bar tasks - click the Start - Menu tab click on customize - click on the Advanced tab is list my open documents recently checked inside?

  • How do we uninstall microsoft word pad? It is corrupting all my word files

    When I type a ms word document and save it. the document is fine until I close it. Wen, I'll be back on the same file, it says that "some items may be missing or displayed incorrectly Word pad can not display. I want to go because I just spent money on MS office 2010 and I don't have Word Pad messing around all my files from Word Pad college class.

    WordPad is built into Windows, it cannot be uninstalled.

    Looks like you just need to have the Word set as your default program.

    Default program to open files of Type with the value

    1. right click on the file, select "open with...". »

    2. click on the program that you want (if not in the menu, you will need to search for it).

    3. make sure the "always use the selected program" is checked on the bottom of the window.

    4. click on OK.

    This type of file should always be opened in this program.

  • Cannot access the Word file that is saved to the location of the temporary file.

    Original title: can see a downloaded Word attachment file in the temporary internet files by mistake, but can not access

    When I open IE5 content in the temporary internet files in windows XP Explorer I can't see the contents of its subfolders.   I'm looking for a downloaded Word fixation, I've updated and instead save it in the right folder I accidentally he saved in a folder named: 8KOJUWFP which seems to sit in the content. TRUST that I do not see 8KOJUWFP in content IEF.  I know that the file is located in 8KOJUWFP here because when I try to download the word original attachment again once I could see my new file there as I changed the name and saved it, but now I can see more.

    Forgive me for the speaker, but you will not find this variable on a XP machine:

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp

    In addition, I don't see what reset security settings (thus losing all customizations) has to do with the problem that was presented that occurs when you open a document that is received by e-mail that opens in the folder temporary Internet files ContentIE5 and then it is saved to this place by mistake.  Been there, done that, so I know the feeling when you find out what has happened.

    What I would say is go to Start - Search and select all files and folders.  And then under all or part of the name of the file: type 8KOJUWFP , and then click more advanced Options - put a check mark next to search system folders, search for files and hidden folders and subfolders to search then click on the Search button and allow the search to run.

    It should find this file in the following folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent (where xxxxx is your user name) and pointing to this place:

    C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\8KOJUWFP (where xxxxx is your user name).

    Double-click the 8KOJUWFP file to open it.  You may see a large number of files are listed with different names.  I find the best way to locate a file is to do the following:

    Right-click in any empty space on the top bar (where you see headers of column as 'name', 'size', etc. and from the right click menu select "Type" and "Date of creation" so that they have a checkmark beside them and these columns now.

    Now, double-click the topic 'Category' to sort the results by "file type" in alphabetical order.  Scroll down the page until you get "Microsoft Word document" and see if you can spot your document it.  If so, right-click on it and select 'Open with' and 'Microsoft Office Word.  If you can open the document, then click on "Save as" and save it to My Documents instead.

  • Is it possible to recover a word file that is saved to the downloads folder, but who was later removed at the close of mozilla?

    Yes, I searched on how to possibly get a word document that has been lost. Unfortunately, I did not save backups, so I did that.

    Other people asking if you can recover the lost data of download folder that has wiped got a "no, cannot it" answer, but it's not good enough for me.

    I know that when these files have been deleted, they have not get shredded and with corresponding software that can recover files from sqlite database stores data, you can get the data back. My question is, how can I retrieve my document from a sqlite file word file? Also, how can I identify with most recent files sqlite that erased on my computer?

    Thank you

    Hello, firefox does not save your downloaded files in a sqlite database, but directly in the download on your disk directory. what you might be able to extract your downloads (ctrl + j) history is a url to a file for the re - download.
    You can also try running a program like "recuva" to restore material deleted on your drive, but it is out of the scope of support for mozilla products...

  • Is it possible to have the number of words together to always display?

    I use the statistics feature a lot of Pages and I think in a previous version, it was still visible. Now whenever I go to or create a different document that I have to manually switch to the view / display Word Count - go further down in the document, and then switch the display of 'character' to display 'words '.

    Is there a way to control this so the number of words on 'words' is the default view for any document I'm working with? Terminal command?

    Thank you!

    Rick

    You should always express what specific version of Pages with OS X that you are currently running. You can actually receive a community response more precise and punctual.

    There is no way to "sticky" user configurable to force Pages v5 on always display a number of words. It was a preferences: General option in Pages ' 09.

    Pages remembers a lot about your last use of it and stores this information in its list of preference file. When you choose the view menu: Show Word Count, the default is to show the characters in the bottom floating panel. This group contains each element with an integer value, that it stores in a variable update in the preferences file. When you change the characters, words, this value is updated and stored in the list of preference file. The next time that you are using Pages, he remembers this last variable parameter, and the floating panel shows words rather than characters. It is my experience test here.
