Recover Unsaved Word File (Mac)

[fmcbear]

I worked on a Word document and closed my laptop without closing down Word and saving my document. I usually save to Dropbox, so it was not saved to Desktop, etc. I cannot find it and have tried looking at prior version history (there is none, it's greyed out). Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, since the file wasn't saved in Dropbox, there's no way for Dropbox to recover the file. You might try looking at Word's ability to recover unsaved documents.
