Need help recovering a Word 2010 Document

Asked Jul 2, 2012, 10:43 PM — 4 Answers
I was writing an article in Word 2010 and when I went to exit out of word I accidentally hit the "Don't Save" button. I had saved the document previously, but made changes and now I don't know how to recover those changes if it is at all possible, please help me.

there's no way to get it back if you didn't save it it was only stored in your RAM and not on your hard drive. the RAM only save information when it has power.

Word has an automatic save feature that is set by default. You may be able to get it back,

Use the Document Recovery task pane to recover your files - Word - Office.com
