If you crash out of Word or your PC crashes, then the 'working copy' is still in a temporary recovery location and when you restart Word it asks if you wish to recover the file.
At least, that is the theory. Unless you do what one client that I worked for did ...
They set the recovery location to C:\TEMP, which is OK. But, for security reasons, they deleted all contents of C:\TEMP as part of the PC load up (good old C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT).

You failed to notice the shiny new icon?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Back in 1990 or so, I wrote an app that used resource strings for error messages. I had a "catch-all" error message that read, "Shut 'er down Scotty, the system's suckin' mud!". This error message was displayed whenever the returned error code didn't have an associated error message.
One day, a customer called, asking what that message meant. Everyone had a good laugh, but I had to track down the missing error code...

It is a huge advance.
Originally auto-save kicked in only after one saved it's work. So the sane way was to save the document just after starting it.
Now Office keeps track of not-saved-yet works in progress, too.
Of course it means that works not intended to save (like blackmails) are saved too, so there is a warning.
And there is a Learn more link to explain.

Were you saving or exiting. Reading closer, you don't think either.
?do you have your Word set to launch separate windows, or use MDI? Closing the application in MDI mode would do just that.
Exit on a dirty doc, [Don't Save] is don't save and exit.
How long? Depends on how aggressive you are at house cleaning.
Temporarily - ah, somewheres in the \users\you\appdata\ tree.
To make it consistently available, open it, and [save it as] a meaningful name, in a useful folder.
But really, you knew all that and I am just off enough to want to spell it out anyway.

What type of backup do you use with AOMEI ?
"We can't stop here - this is bat country" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Image - AOMEI allows you to load them as virtual disks, so you can browse them and recover individual files as well as restoring the whole disk.

Better - I just spent 10 minutes kneading bread dough for pitas and I'm not completely whacked out, so I may risk mowing the garden tomorrow. (That's harder work than you think - I have to take each "hopper full" of cuttings down a steep flight of uneven stairs to dispose of them, and it takes quite a lot of trips).

is that before or after trimming [,harvesting] and weeding the lawn?

I don't have a the stairs but I do mow (with a 50' electric cord).
Sometimes I need garden mulch or something for the compost heap (and it's just a heap on the ground).
When I don't, I put the mower in "mulcher" mode and all the grass is chopped find and pushed back into the lawn. Nothing at all to empty and it's actually good for your lawn!*
* I can identify various plants and weeds - I just don't care about caring for a lawn beyond the barest minimum: I never fertilize or water the damn thing. Only a lunatic would do that, that is encourage it to grow bigger and faster. Why? So it gives you more work? Only a paid landscaper could sensibly do that so you pay for more frequent visits.
Now, my vegy garden - that's another story. Clean soft soil with happy produce being produced. In this case, good care gives you something you want: more food.
So - go mulcher mode - save yourself a lot of hassle.
No need to thank me - just send cash.

the best idea is to plan your recovery, not your backup.
I generally concentrate on user data/files/settings (user/system AppData...)
if there's databases do those in an unloaded/export format (likewise a registry backup/export file rather than the registry itself.)
It's much easier to restore on an apps own import/restore function rather then just dumping the files back (and hoping issues such as raw block allocation/contiguity is not an issue)
OK, an image can overcome many of the issues but
1. if it's the hardware that died image restore likely fails (windows for sure), and extracting from raw backed up registry / database next to impossible.
2. even on the same hardware a full sys rebuild - do you want all the same superfluous 'baggage,' back again, and perhaps also take the opportunity to upgrade apps (or o/s) during rebuild.
restores will always take far longer then expected, even more so if an image that had apps and/or settings 'tweaked' to make it work a certain way. I'd rather reinstall [fresh] apps, then restore (reload) data/files back rather than figure out the tricks employed to make it tick properly.

Good point,while I have your attention - is there an equivalent of this for Linux ?

for linux I got lazy and use FreeFileSync...
the setup I have is 2 internal SSD,
- the second started as a "dd" image of the first but since then I just use FFS to update it.
also 2 external USB SSD (rotating) that are again full images of the main drive
(usb 3.1 SSD is almost as fast as SATA so even after a heavy day backing up say 10-20GB of updated files (typically VM's) at the end of the day is finished before I can get a coffee
- and most daily backups are way less than that)
versioning?: what the source control doesn't version I do myself where it matters. (mostly it matters for source, so if already being done why do it.)
FFS is the lazy option (that I used initially when moving from winduds) and just kept using it.
there's built in commands that do exactly same thing:
notably rsync - it's command line but there are GUI interfaces for it too
the beauty of the simple mirror-backup option is:
1. I could remove ffs and using the built-in rsync it would still be smart enough to back up only changed files (sort of like in winduds say swapping xcopy for robocopy)
2. restoring is simple:
say something in my work folder "/home/share/dev/pplus" gets broken
it's backed up on "/shadow/home/share/dev/pplus" internally - always mounted,
and /media/bk/home/share/dev/pplus when either external drive is plugged in.
the beauty of linux (I actually did this for my backup machine) is any one of those backup or original images can be plugged straight into another machine (even if the hardware differs which it did), just switch it on and it boots ready to go - no downloading/installing different drivers, no drive letter changed crap, no licence or "welcome to xxx" first use popups... - even in the windows vm's contained in the image. (Another main reason you should always guest windows on linux hosts rather then visa-versa.)

Not necessarily, certainly AOMEI can restore to a different disk without problems (I've even a restored bootable HDD image to a SSD and had no problems at all (all part of backup integrity testing).
