recovering autorecovery

[Paul]

I have my autorecovery set to 10 minutes and I accidently
closed my Word document without saving. Is it possible to
recover the document up to the last point it was
autorecovery saved?

Hi Paul

No. When you close Word in the normal way, it deletes the autorecovery
information. It's there only when Word reopens after a crash.

Please read and follow the advice in
