Hi, I have been working on Word for Mac 2011 and have been saving continuously onto the same document as my work progresses. I always reference manually and somebody suggested I use footnotes to reference. This was too problematic as I needed to reference separately at the end of three sections and footnotes was only allowing me one lot of references.

So I copied and pasted my other two sections underneath the footnote referencing and Word must have assumed it was part of the footnotes because when I completed my work and went back to re-reference each section manually and delete the old footnote references, I lost all my work done underneath the footnotes! Now, I hear you can 'revert to previous saved file' or some other such thing to go back to a previous save of the same document.

Any help is greatly appreciated on how to do this!! Thanks, Ayema. If you haven't saved the document, pressing Command+Z will undo the paste. If you have already saved the file then hopefully you have the option set in preferences to Always Create a Backup and in the folder where the original file is locate you will find a file name 'Backup of.' The file name you are working on. This will be a how the file looked prior to the last save.

Open the Templates and Add-Ins Dialog Step. How to obtain micro soft office for mac. Click 'File' and then 'Options' on the bottom of the left sidebar. The Word Options dialog provides you with a variety of settings to help you manage Word.

If you don't have the Always Create a Backup option set, besides 'Shame on You' then go to your Time Machine backup which should be no more than 1-hour old and you can get previous hours. Assuming you have that function enable. If you don't then again.

Shame on You! If you have neither of these built-in options set then I pray you are using my GotUrBack application running, which will protect you with up to 9 levels of backup of your saved version of the file. And if you don't have any of the above set or running then I'm sorry to have to say. You are out of luck and have a great deal of file recreation to do.

Kind Regards, Rich. If you haven't saved the document, pressing Command+Z will undo the paste.
