Microsoft Word autosave?

Will · Jul 24, 2014

Hey all,

I'm trying to recover some notes I was making yesterday in Microsoft Word. My computer has shut down since, and restarted.

Unfortunately the autosave/autorecover feature appears to have failed, and it's only recovering an older version from the week before. Not sure exactly what's gone wrong, but is there any way to recover the latest version or has it been lost?

I've opened and saved the latest version autorecover is detecting.
