Document Recovery to the Rescue 123
You then have these choices:
✦ To save the recovered version of a workbook without bothering to first open it, place your mouse over the recovered version, click its drop- down button, and choose the Save As option on the pop-up menu.
✦ To permanently abandon the recovered version (leaving you with only the data in the original version), click the Close button at the bottom
of the Document Recovery Task pane. When you click the Close button, an alert dialog box appears, giving you the chance to retain the recov- ered versions of the file for later viewing.
✦ To retain the files for later viewing, select the Yes (I Want to View These Files Later) radio button before clicking OK.
✦ To retain only the original versions of the files shown in the Task pane, select the No (Remove These Files. I Have Saved the Files I Need) radio button instead.
The AutoRecover feature only works on Excel workbooks that have been saved at least one time (as explained in the earlier section “Saving the Data”). In other words, if you build a new workbook and don’t bother to save and rename it prior to experiencing a computer crash, the AutoRecover fea- ture will not bring back any part of it. For this reason, it’s really important that you get into the habit of saving new workbooks with the Save button
on the Quick Access toolbar very shortly after beginning to work on a work- sheet. Or you can use the trusty keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S.
