I worked on a word document today, saved it and closed it. When I went back later that day to complete it, I couldn't find it anywhere. Finder even said that I have worked on nothing that day. Is there a way to get all that work back???
MacBook Air, iOS 9.1
Click your Apple top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Recent Items. See it's listed there under Documents.
If not, try a Spotlight search > Mac Basics: Spotlight
If you know what you named the file then try using a Spotlight search to find it by name regardless of where it was saved on your Mac.
Is it possible that you were not working in your local copy of Word but instead Word Online (part of Office 365), or some other locally installed word processor like TextEdit? Or, did you possibly save it to a flash drive or network share instead?
I have tried searching it everywhere but it's as if it never existed. I might have been working on a local copy of Word and never realized, though all my other documents appear on finder.
