is there a folder that contains the files that word recovers, i.e when the power goes off or for some reason word is exited... it recovers files that you were working on...

if anyone knows how to access these previously recovered files please let me know, i dont want to have to start an assignment from 1/2 way through again....



thanks for any help

 

No-one?

 

think you will have lost them if you had not actuially named it and it was still called eg 'document 1'

 

it was saved as 'Air conditioning and pressurisation systems' on my usb memory stick and it was removed which fucked it all up then it closed down. now im retyping from where i was up to

 

Last time I had that happen to me, when I reopened 'Word', the file automatically opened as a 'recovered' file.

 

This might work. Click on File... Open. On the open box, there is an arrow for a drop down box, click on open and repair.

its ok now but thanks anyway. i retyped it so no need now

 

Don't think microsoft word compensate's for files on a USB stick mate
