Word file found, but missing

Hi all,


ive recently been working on a microsoft word document that i have been saving to my usb drive...

As i was working through it again today i tried to save the new information. I clicked save and it did everything id expect it to when i would normally save it, but when i went to close the document it kept asking me if i wanted to save. After pressing save a thounsand times I finally got the sh*ts and closed the document without knowing if it had saved or not. Now when i reopen the file it only has the information i started with, not the updated version. What can i do to get my work back? Please help.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Unfortunately, no. Word has an auto-save feature that will usually save the document incrementally as you work on it - why it wasn't doing so, I have no idea.


You may want to see if anyone in the MS Office forums could help you -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword. I work primarily in Word 2013 for Windows now and it has excellent recovery features that are lacking in the Mac version.
