hi all,
yesterday while writing a paper of 3000 words, i saved it and by mistake, i chose to save it under (office autorecovery 2011) folder, but the thing is, when i tried looking for the file, i couldnt find it in that specific folder, so i tried saving another word files on this folder, but the result was the same, nothing was saved there.
so please can anyone help me, its sooooooooo urgent! thanks in advance.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
the other thing is, i tried searching for the document under the finder and spotlight, but it seems as the file never existed, nothing appears, even tho im 10000% sure i saved the file. !!
I have been trying forever to try and find a file that I had saved this way also. Not a mistake I will be making again any time soon.
Click on the icon on the top left to open a file, in the window you can click on the folder name dropdown box and the autorecovery folder should be the first on your recent places list.
After looking everywhere for this folder on my computer this is the only place I could find it.
Hope this works for you too 🙂
This should be helpful for you.

It's really frustrating the way Microsoft has set this up, but there is a way to come out on top!
