~/Users/ username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 AutoRecoveryīut when I open that folder I have a “Office 2004 AutoRecovery” and a “Office 2008 AutoRecovery”-folder, but there’s no such folder for Office 2011… It told me I would be able to find the folder via this path : I forgot where to find the AutoRecovery-folder, so I used Office 2011’s build-in Help-option to get a hint. I accidentally messed up the Office documents (Word/PowerPoint/Excel) I was working on, and I didn’t save it before, so I wanted to get the auto-saved version from the AutoRecovery-folder as I’ve done before in Office 20.

If you are not using the same computer, then you have to go to the file location where Word auto-saved the file. You can then click through them and choose any that you want to keep, using "Save As" to save a copy of the file. When you open it, Word will automatically check for any auto-saved files on the left-hand side of the screen. Firstly, if you are at the same computer you were using when the problem occurred and nobody else has used it in the meantime, then once you have been able to restart or log back on to the computer, open Word again. There are two ways to recover information. In this example, that means that at most you will have lost 10 minutes worth of work. If the computer you are using crashes while you are working on a document, you will probably have lost some information, but you should be able to recover the last saved autoversion. If Word is closed normally these auto recovery files are not saved. They mean that every 10 minutes, a copy of the work in progress will be automatically saved to the user's N:drive. These are the standard settings for users on IT Services computers.
Shown below this is the AutoRecover file location which in this example is "N:\" - ie the individual N:drive for the user.
