[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1611939, member: 46727"] We've been thru this before. First, the autosave feature in Mac Word does not work and the auto recovery feature is unreliable. The only thing that does work is to select "Always create a backup copy" in the Word preferences under "Save". That way, each time you save the file a backup copy is updated. And... make sure you manually save often. As for your Word file that was lost, it's probably gone forever or overwritten if the data recovery program couldn't find it. [/QUOTE]
