Word issue
Hi,
Word issue emailed to me ...
Possible cause ?
I'm using Word 2016.
For example, this afternoon I worked on a doc, and then this evening I wanted to use it as a template for a similar doc. I meant to do a file/save as at the start and create a new doc, but I forgot. Then when I had finished making my new doc I just pressed save and saved over the old doc. I thought I would be able to retrieve an old version so that I could get my work from this afternoon, but everywhere I look on my Laptop it says that there are no older versions available.
I have checked my Autosave settings and they seem to be correct, i.e. it's set to save every 10 minutes, but I still can't get any older versions.
This happened to my before recently as well so I set up Google Drive and Google Docs to try to avoid this happening again, but even on Drive and Docs there don't seem to be any older versions available.
I don't know if there is some setting that is wrong on my laptop or if there is a problem with my Word.
I really don't want this to happen again because it loses me a lot of time, so any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
