Forgive me as I just posted this in the general newsgroup for word, but that seems to have a lot less activity so I am reposting it here!
I was working on a few MS Word documents today, documents that I update daily and, I took a couple of hours off and when I came back, word was closed and, when I reopened Word, the documents had none of the changes I had made today.
My settings are to allow "background saves" and to do autorecover every 10 minutes. When, I did a search for Word docs modified in the last day, my files showed up but none of them had any updates I've done in the last 24 hours in them, even though I think they showed today's date (not sure on that). Some of the temporary hushed files (same name with a tilde in front) seem to show up, but if you open them by themselves, it's garbage. Now, I did the search again, 15 minutes later, and far fewer files show up.
I don't understand this - I think it seems to happen to me about once a year, for no reason, but, regardless, can someone tell me the best way to integrate whatever background saved files I have, in order to try to resurrect what I did today?
Thanks so much, Dean
