Recovering unsaved document

[cidley69]

I typed a 5 page report, on the fly, not from any rough copy, into MS Word. I was constantly saving it the whole time, but.......

i had a few Word documents open, and when I was finished and it asked me if I wanted to save my work, I hit "no" by accident.

Now when i open the document, it is the version from like 6 hours ago, with only one page of text.

Is there any way to find inside the computer one of the auto-saved versions from when I was working on it?

I can't seem to find where the "auto-save" function saves things to.

PLEASE HELP!

The file will probably be a "hidden" folder, so if you are searching/scanning for it make sure you select check hidden files and folders.

I don't know where exactly they are stored, but usually by default if I save a file once in one folder (say in "my files"), if I save again or it auto-saves it shows as a hidden icon in the same folder.

Hope that helps a bit? G/L man.
