Default Houw can I find a previous save of a document?

In doing a save, somehow pages of work was deleted. How can I find and open
a previous saved version or auto save version so I don't have to redo all the
work by Monday??

Hi Eliz T,

You can do this quite easily by restoring the backup copy you've made of the document - just make sure not to overwrite your current
version if it's got later edits that you want to keep.

No backup? Start re-typing.

Macropod, how mean "start retyping" - perhaps they have a printer with a
scanning facility... - scan it if you can..

That's assuming they have a paper copy of the previous version. If not, in
the famous words of macropod, "Start re-typing".
