It happens to us all, and it’s scarier than any costume you’ve seen on Halloween… you’re working on a document and, your computer crashes, Word freezes, something happens, and all your hard work is just, gone! AH!

But did you know there are things you can do to try and recover that work?

Option 1 – Previous Versions

If you have previously saved the file, and lost additional work, you may be able to recover a previous version of the file.

• Locate the file in your File Explorer
• Right click
• Select Properties
• Select the tab for Previous Versions
• Select a previous version (if available)

Option 2 – Document Management

• Open a blank Word document
• Select File
• Then Info
• Then Manage Document
• Select Recover Unsaved Documents
