7z and show 4-5 individual files, in which one file 'Worddocument' is the biggest, meaning that has the full text.īut if you view/ open that file in some text editor or wordpad, that appears as junk characters, meaning word has used some compresion/ coding technique in that.

So, some NON-MS Word option is required to open this last autosaved version with 'crash code' inbuilt in that. If ms word crashed due to some reason, and you had set autosave duration to some very small value, like 1 min, then this last file saved 1 minute ago, and additional text (since the 2 min ago auto saved version),īut, this file doesn't open successfully in ms word.Īs soon as it opens, the event that caused the previous crash, somehow reoccurs every time, and the warning window appears that 'search online for solution/ close file and restart word.'Īnd that window doesn't allow you to access original ms word window, in which this file is very much open and is clearly visible in text.
