Here’s how to restore lost files in Microsoft Office:

  1. Open Word, Excel or PowerPoint to a blank document and click File. 2. Click Info on the left rail. 3. Click  Manage Document. In Excel and Powerpoint, “Workbook” and “Presentation” are used instead of “Document” in this step or the next step. 4. Click “Recover Unsaved Documents.” 5. Select a file and click Open. If your file isn’t listed, continue to step 6.
  2. If  your file wasn’t on the list, try looking in the folder C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel (or Word or PowerPoint). You may see a file there with the correct file name and a dash after it, followed by a long string of numbers (ex: quarterlyreport-04121200630512349068373463). Open that file. Your document will re-appear.
