Can I Recover a Word Document I Didn't Save on Mac?

Can I recover a Word document I didn't save on Mac? We lost our unsaved Word document assignment for the university after we had to force close and restart it due to freezing. Is there a chance we could get it back somehow? Nothing appeared despite our attempts to use the utilities, terminal, and temporary files.

Yes, you can recover unsaved Word documents on a Mac. You could use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac to recover the Word document you didn't save on Mac and HDDs, SSDs, USBs, and SD cards. It can recover files from any loss, including inadvertent deletion, unplanned Mac shutdowns, and disk utility errors.

  • Step 1. Open the Mac version of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. Click "Search for lost files" after selecting the drive where the Word document you tried to save vanished.
  • Step 2. Select "Type > Unsaved Documents" from the menu on the left side of the scan results box. You can retrieve unsaved Word documents or other files on your Mac using filters to select Word doc files.
  • Step 3. To preview the chosen lost Word files, double-click. To recover unsaved Word documents on a Mac without auto recovery, click "Recover" after that.

Note: Clicking "Disk Backup" on the left will initiate creating a backup. The software will restore the document from the backup image. This can shield your disk and data from additional harm, increasing their dependability and safety.

Assuming you dislike using file recovery software, you can still restore Word on a Mac without it using any of the 2 methods listed below.

  • Use AutoRecovery to recover a Word document that was not saved. Word for Mac's AutoSave feature is enabled by default. The software automatically saves a copy of an open Word document every minute.
  • Retrieve unsaved Word documents from the TMP folder on a Mac. The AutoRecovery or Word Temporary files folder, which stores a copy of the Word Work File document, may contain the unsaved item, per the special characteristics of Microsoft Word for Mac.

Use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover deleted or lost files easily and quickly.
