Oct 22, 2015 4:23 AM in response to scott163by Adi Himpson,★HelpfulJust in case anyone finds their way here by Google, as I did looking for how to find the Office 2016 autosave files...
You can locate them by going clicking the Go menu in the Finder, choosing Go To Folder and pasting:
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery/
in the box.
You may need to rename any files you find there as .doc instead of .docx if they won't open properly.
Hope this helps someone,
Adi

Dec 10, 2015 10:57 AM in response to ali.sinairby hope on caulkins,Hello,
I have Microsoft word for 2016, any advice? I know the exact time that i lost the version of the doc i wanted and accidently erased everything. I just want to get back to a version 1-2 saves away. I was not working on any kind of online place. I'm completely offline on word so none of those options work. I'm desperate. Weeks of work.

As user Adi Himpson said above, you may need to do this:

Dec 15, 2015 10:16 PM in response to jcmckinnby teban666,This definitely helped me, but the Text Edit only provided me with 1/4 of my paper and the rest was symbols and text that made the file look like hieroglyphics. Is there a way I can change that?
