Re: Recovering Word document opened up as email attachment

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Word does *not* have an option to automatically save the document
periodically. The option that you refer to is autorecovery information. This
*may* have helped the OP have a greater chance of restarting Word recovering
the document, but has nothing to do with the issue here. The OP has saved
the document in a transient temporary folder that may no longer exist. In
those circumstances only file recovery software would possibly stand a
chance of recovering the file.

If you want a true backup function - see
