Although you know that you have to

save from time to time

Microsoft Word also allows you to configure

an autosave so that this does not happen to you again.

.

Open Word and in the left area select Open.

Recover documents without saving

This option opens a hidden folder in the program in which the documents that the user is working on are saved.

Find the one you want to recover and select it.

the date or time also appears

, stick to that information to find the lost document.

Unexpected closing of Microsoft Word

If you want to do it with a document already open, go to File and look in the drop-down menu, Options.

In the window that will have appeared, look for Save on the left side

that is lost if there is an
