Как найти файл Word, если он не находится в режиме автоматического восстановления?

Если вы уже изучили файлы автозагрузки ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 AutoRecoveryи ничего не нашли, вам не повезло.

На будущее вот несколько советов:

• Office для Mac ужасно нестабилен. Это не субъективное утверждение, это то, что я испытал со всеми версиями на нескольких машинах коллег и друзей. Я никогда не буду выполнять критически важную работу с Office для Mac, так как ожидаю, что она иногда будет аварийно завершать работу. Особенно с большими файлами, такими как диссертации. Честно говоря, я бы никому не рекомендовал покупать Office для Mac.

  Вместо этого установите Windows на свой Mac через Boot Camp или на виртуальной машине и работайте там с «обычным» Office, или используйте альтернативу для написания документов, например Pages из пакета iWork. Или напишите свою диссертацию в LaTeX, если вы готовы.

• Всегда держите хотя бы одну резервную копию. В OS X есть Time Machine, которая регулярно хранит снимки ваших важных файлов. И вам даже не нужно думать об этом: просто подключите USB-накопитель, и OS X попросит вас сделать резервные копии на этом накопителе. Держите диск подключенным в любое время . Если что-то случится с вашей машиной или снова произойдет сбой Office, у вас будет резервная копия.

I was trying to recover an unsaved file (I never saved it, was working on the document from the start) and had my computer on for around 15 days. I think I just assumed that I saved it at some point since I was working on it for so long and every time my Mac went off, the file would pop back up when it switched back on, until one day, where it didn't.

My main problem was that the folder that saves all the auto-recovered files wasn't located in the place it was supposed to be. It was in some random hidden folder (which I wouldn't have been able to locate unless I turned on the show hidden folders command).

It wasn't even located in a Microsoft Office folder, as I said, completely random folders.

All I can say is – don't give up! If I can find my unsavedfile I'm sure you can too. Just make sure you locate that folder (Office 2011 Autorecovery) and go from there.

Tips:

• Sometime no matter how many different searches you try, the file name won't appear. If you're lucky it can sometimes, but with me it didn't. If you're looking for that latest version of your file, it's best to locate that folder and see what is has for you.

• See if Time Machine can help you. If it was turned on, maybe the snapshots or the file itself might be there to help you through

• Make sure you make your hidden folders visible. I cannot stress how important this is.

• Try to leave no folder unturned, well, that's a lot of folders, but let the date created section help you through.

Just remain calm and keep trying folks, if you need to download an external software to help you locate your files then don't hesitate in getting that too. It all depends on how important the work you lost is. If it worth the time and energy to search back for it.

Good luck!!

I am a college student who just spent 2 days making an extremely in depth study guide for a final exam, and just like everyone else on this page, my word crashed making me lose everything! I looked everywhere online and have FINALLY found the answer to retrieving your lost document EVEN if AutoRecovery did not save it. This is free with no external software needed, you just need to follow these quick couple steps.

So If you did as everyone else said and found the folder "Office 2008/09/11 AutoRecovery" and your file is still NOT there, that means it is being stored in your computers Temporary or "-Tmp-" folder.

The "-Tmp-" folder is very hard to find, even if you have made hidden folders visible, so what you need to do is go to "Applications"- "Utilities"- "Terminal"

Once you are in the terminal copy this phrase: "open $TMPDIR" and press ENTER. That will open your Temporary files folder where you will see another folder named "Temporaryitems"

Open up the "Temporaryitems" folder and you will find your lost file, that even AutoRecovery could not find. However when you do find your file, make sure you open up the document with "TextEdit" because a .tmp file will not work with Word. An example name of your lost document will be "WordWorkfile D-57238.tmp"

I spent hours on the internet looking for a solution and this is the only way I have actually been able to find the lost or unsaved file. I hope this helps and I can save everyone some extra hours of time.
