You might need to recover a Word document on a Mac for a number of reasons: You can recover an earlier version of a file with a backup copy or from within the app. I want to restore an earlier version of a Word document on my Mac. Try searching the Mac temp folder or recovering from within the Word app. I need to recover an unsaved Word document but AutoRecovery was not enabled. Use AutoRecovery or look in your Mac Temp folder. Word crashed while I was working on a document. Search in the Mac Temp folder or try AutoRecovery.
Word froze and I did not save the document. I had to force quit Word and need to recover files. Use data recovery software or try recovering the file from a backup. I have accidentally deleted an important Word file that is no longer in the Trash. The document was recently deleted by the user.
