Find an earlier version (not under File-Version) of Word doc?

G

Guest

Can I retrieve a version of a Word doc I subsequently saved without renaming
or having Version control set? I lost an entire Bibliography that cannot be
replaced, apparently by deleting it accidentally before "final" save.

If you have 'Always create backup copy' checked, the folder that contained
the file will contain a file called 'Backup of ...', being the file as it
was when you last opened it (ie without the changes from the final editing
session). Failing that, and in the absence of a backup, no.
