Your only option depends on the "autosave" feature of your word processor. Microsoft Word periodically saves a copy of your file automatically. This helps to reduce the amount of data loss in the event of a crash or power failure. When you start Word back up, it should provide you with a list of files it has a partial copy of. Because the data that you are typing resides only in random access memory, then when their is a power failure, there is absolutely NO way to recover that data unless it was saved somewhere. So, the best advice here is, always save often (an art I learned years ago. The combination of Alt-F,S is so second nature I do it almost after every sentence I type or every line of code I change), and/or utilize the "autosave" features of your word processor.

Hi,

Press Ctrl+S every few minutes. But if you still lose unsaved document, use special software. Word and Excel, creates temporary files during editing. These files can be recovered by using, for example, FileInternals Office Recovery.

Hi jtbrown,

Welcome to WTT Forums.

You may already have noticed that the Topic Thread to which you responded is a few months old.
Hopefully the original poster has already solved his problem.

Thanks, though, for your additional contribution.

Hopefully, most folks can guard against this type of problem by frequent and regular saving of their work document as you and others suggest.
In some cases, it may come down to a Paid Product such as what you suggest.

For further information, have you used that product yourself?
Are there any cautions or risks of which a user should be made aware?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug, I wrote this post on the forum thinking that someone else may be the same problem. As for FI Office Recovery, I test the demo version downloaded from their website. Just installed the program and scan disk. Program has found a lot of documents, whose existence on my computer I did not know (the documentation and so on). And the program has found my documents that were deleted a few years ago, I already forgot about them. It was fun to return to his own life a few years ago
