How do you set back your computer if you accidently clicked "NO" when Word
asks if you want to save a document?

You kick yourself in the A$$ hard enough to remember not to next time.
Other than that, search Word temp directories for a copy. Not an easy
task if you don't know what your doing.

One can reset a computer by using System Restore which you find by opening
Help and Support. However, that will only restore your system to an earlier
date or time. A document or folder that you create yourself is not part of
the system and so cannot be restored in this way. I believe that Word has the
possibility to create automatic backups of files every so many minutes (as
chosen by you). However, I am noe expert.
The lesson to learn is -- hit the save button every line or two as you
create any document. I have seen a professional in a print shop lose half an
hour's work accidentally by forgetting this basic point.

HOW many times are you going to REPOST the SAME QUESTION?

Just browsing thru here to pick up a few good pointers. I note your question
(twice posted) seems to have been covered pretty well already by all
concerned.
There's at least one point though I didn't see mentioned yet (I think - tho'
I may be wrong there). That point is this:
If you're usually prone to forget (like me), check out the following menu in
Word:
Tools, Options, Save, Save auto-recovery info every __ minutes.
It may be annoying, but I'd put "2" minutes in the blank. It will auto-save
the file every 2 minutes then. This also saves most of your work, should you
crash.
Then again, you might want to write a VisBasic macro to intercept the file
(if you don't save it or accidentally clicked "no"), that prompts you with a
final warning before the file closes.
None of this, except maybe the 'temp' file expedient mentioned by someone
here,
will help if there's a crash before the "2" minutes trigger enterd above is
reached.
Sorry that this is all after the fact. Check out the 'temp' thing anyway. I
think it saves to the Tools, Options, File Locations, AutoRecovery folder -
but I'm not sure now as don't remember when last I used this feature.

You can also try a freeware program called "PC Inspector" File Recovery
program, Here is one source: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pcinspector.html
A Google search will bring more sources. It's kind of cumbersome to work
with, but it saved my butt a few times, just takes time waiting for the
program to find all the files and then searching thru all those recovered
files, as sometimes the file names are changed. The quicker you use it after
losing a file, the less chance it will be overwritten. Try this if the lost
file is *that* important and all the other suggestions, including searching
the temp files, didn't work.
