Recovering an Unsaved Microsoft Word Document

It's all to easy to lose a Microsoft Word document, either because of a power failure or inadvertently closing the document without saving. I've known for years how to recover files from Word's Temp directory, but I must admit that I'm embarrassed to find that Word has a built-in mechanism for doing this.

If you close your Microsoft Office 2010 Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file unwittingly, quickly open the Microsoft Office program again and create a new document. Go to File > Info > Manage Versions.

In Word 2010, click on the little dropdown and select Recover Unsaved Documents. Now, select the draft and open it in a new Microsoft Word (or Excel or PowerPoint) document. Once your data recovers, select Save As, enter a document name and save it.
