I've taken to just ignoring AutoSave and going back to manually saving my work frequently as I go. I see no logical reason that we can't simply select the original folder location (which is already in OneDrive) when turning on AutoSave. It will pop up an Open window that shows you the unsaved files, so you can select one of the files to recover. The laptop in question is a backup/portable system that I need to keep in sync with the desktop (the Mac). Open a new MS Word document, click File > Info > Manage Versions, and then select Recover Unsaved Documents. On my Mac, AutoSave also saves to the original file location. In Windows 7, the files always saved to the original folder and overwrote the original, as far as I can recall. Note that, at least in my case, this is only happening on the laptop I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7. I've used OneDrive to store my documents for years. This has happened consistently, regardless of what files I work with. When I turn it back on, it opens a little box asking me to select the folder to auto-save to, and the only option is the root OneDrive folder. The original files are in subfolders within the OneDrive hierarchy. The shorter the time-lapse, the lower the chances of data loss due to power failures or possible Microsoft Word shutdowns.You for your input, which I do appreciate, but. For example, it is possible to set how often the recovery file should be created. You can also use this feature in the cloud by placing the path in a folder that you have synchronized with any storage service, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive.įinally, do not forget that other related options are available to you. A good reason for changing the directory of the autosave file is to make it more accessible, perhaps by placing it in the documents folder. The file is saved as a hidden file with an arbitrary filename with the extension '.xar' (for example, ar18a.xar). To maintain speed and simplicity, Auto-Recover saves all files as the current Excel file format, regardless of the original file format opened. When you are done, remember to save your changes by clicking Ok. Auto-Recover saves all file formats that can be opened in Excel. If you click on the Browse button, you can select a new directory for the temporary Word file. In the settings window, open the Save section and look at the path next to the AutoRecover file location. If you wish to modify the directory, simply go to the File menu and click on Options. Therefore, in general terms, it will not be necessary to locate the temporary Word file manually.
You need to know that Word automatically detects unexpected shutdowns and offers the user to recover their work on restart. In this way, you can use the file explorer to recover any document that you have not been able to save.
