Default lost a word document

Hi Stefan,
It was not checked but "allow background saves" was as well as "Embed
linguistic data" any other suggestions based on that?
Word did not crash.

That depends on how you lost the document.

If Word crashed, there should be an AutoRecover file available.

If "Always create backup copy" was selected in Tools | Options (Save
tab) you can open a previous *.wbk version of the file.

If the file was never saved, there is nothing to retrieve.

For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/AutomaticSave.htm.
