Even if you’ve used Word for a while, there might be some features or settings that you’ve missed.
Click “Yes” when a dialog box appears asking if you want to load your automatically saved documents in Word.
File names followed by “Original” were last saved using the manual “Save” button method, whereas files followed by “Autosaved” were last saved with the AutoSave feature. The files will also display the date and times each version was saved.
If you don’t want a file, click it, and click Delete to remove it from your AutoRecovery Panel and the folder it was saved in.
