Resources for Recovering Lost Files in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Documentation

Microsoft has official pages with different methods that can potentially find lost files or recover content from unsaved documents. These instructions vary depending on if you are using a Mac or PC.

Additional Information

There is no 100% guarantee that a file can be found if it was never saved. IT recommends that you save your work frequently and save to cloud storage such as OneDrive to ensure that you retain access to your file.
