The trick to recover an unsaved Word file

Have you ever written pages and pages of a Word document without saving and then inadvertently losing all the content? It's not really a good feeling, in fact it's one of the closest things to the feeling of pure anger you will ever experience.

Preventing and remedying this unfortunate event is possible, however, you just need to follow these easy directions.

Meanwhile, you should know that Word automatically saves documents every 10 minutes of work. This timer can also be lowered so that you have more close-up saves and be more relaxed. All those documents can be recovered by following the following instructions: Go to Word, click on "File", click on "Manage document", select "Recover unsaved documents" and choose the document we want.

If this method does not work there is another way that you can follow and is to look in some secret folders that take care of recording some temporary files. To access these folders you need to type the combination WIN + R and then write one of these folder names in the space provided:

% temp%

% appdata% \ Microsoft \ Word

% localappdata% \ Temp

Be careful because the files you will find will have a different extension from the one we usually see and you will have to open them with Word manually.
