 Autorecover an unsaved, damaged or lost Microsoft Word document, Microsoft Excel worksheet or PowerPoint presentation. What should you do if you close the document without saving it? Go to the tab File, Info, find the section Manage Document. If your computer shut down or is tired when working with the document, go to File, Options and Save. In the section Save Documents, WorldBooks or Presentations, find the Autorecover file location. This is the folder where all autosaved files of an open application are saved. If you haven't found the necessary files of the unsaved or autosaved document, run Hetman Partition Recovery, use it to scan the disk containing the autorecovery data. So select the necessary files and send them to the recover list.
