While technology definitely makes life a lot easier, there are times when it just makes life hard. Like when you’re just done typing up a letter or a very important document for work for work or school and your laptop suddenly shuts down before you can save it. 

To make things worse, you didn’t have autosave on and when you relaunched Microsoft Word, it didn’t help you recover it. Why Microsoft Word??!! WHY??!! Why U Don’t Got My Back?? 

Well, you’re wrong! Microsoft Word has your back!

3. All your unsaved document should show up, so, click on it and tadaa, your unsaved document, RECOVERED!
