What to do if a Word document is not saved immediately

In the process of editing a document, the document being edited is not saved immediately because of a sudden power outage. How to save some data?

There are several ways to fix a document that is not saved for immediate use.

How to: Recover a document with the document recovery feature

Word has automatic recovery, Word automatically analyzes and handles file errors when an application error suddenly shuts down a program, or when a system fails to restart the system, and then opens word, and then tries to recover the data and saves the recovered file. The user can then select the corresponding Word document to save as needed.

Step 1th, restart Word after you restart the computer.

In step 2nd, Word automatically activates the Document Recovery Task window, which lists the open documents in the window that the Word program stops responding to, as shown in Figure 1.

Step 3rd, select the file you want to recover, select Save As from the inverted Triangle Arrow drop-down menu on the right, and choose to replace the document that was not saved when you exited word by replacing it with the original document.

Method Two: Open and repair the document

When the program or system fails to restart the system, first move the Word program, the Office Quick Start button, select the Open menu item, pop-up Open dialog box. Select the Word document you want to open, click the small triangle to the right of the Open button, and select the Open and Repair menu item, as shown in Figure 2, where Word automatically fixes the document before opening it.

Method Three: Recover the document with scratch disk file

When you edit a Word document, the software temporarily holds the unsaved file in a specified folder, where we can find the unsaved new document.

Step 1th, open the My Computer window. Enter the C:documents and Setting < username >APPLICATIONCLATAMICROSOFTWORCR (for Windows 2000/XP System).

Step 2nd, locate the temporary file with a filename similar to "~wrd0004.tmp", change the extension to "Doc", and then double-click to open to see if the content is the document you want. If it is, save it to a specified folder, or open another temporary file for viewing.
