Lost saved changes
I've lost saved work! I was working on an important set of essays
last night, saving repeated times, and went to bed without closing the Word program. The power went out, and in the morning I had to turn my computer on again because it was turned off. I've opened up the document again, only to find the original version of the document I started from, alongside multiple transparent files with names like ~WRL2479.tmp and I am unable to put the two together. I know Microsoft Word creates a "ghost-like" temporary file each time an open document is saved, but I don't know how to manually make use of it. Is there a way to open up the AutoRecover sidebar to decode these temporary files? I've succeeded in opening them up in Notepad, but all there is is a bunch of symbols and the original writing. I need to resurrect the changes! |
