Always remember not to make any changes on your computer or Word now to ensure the data is not overwritten. If you have enabled the AutoRecovery option before, you can get your Word file back by starting up Word again. But there are chances that you forget to turn it on. You can recover lost Word files with powerful tools like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac Pro to retrieve Word document you forgot to save on Mac.
Let's look at the detailed steps below:
Step 1. Download and launch EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac Pro, move to the device where you have lost your Word file, and click "Search for lost files."
Step 2. When the scanning process ends, click "Type" and expand "Unsaved Documents." Use the filter to find your Word file according to the file type.
Step 3. Now, double-click the Word files chosen to preview. Click "Recover" to save the file to another secure location on your Mac.
