Question

Worked all day on a massive spreadsheet. Hit the save button regularly, it's a vital document.

Needed to insert 60 rows of new data - kept them on a separate sheet until I was sure of the formatting etc.

Copied these rows, then pasted them into the main sheet, thinking I was inserting them.

Realised immediately that I'd overwritten the exxisting rows, not inserted the new ones into their own space - UNDO not available, aaargh!!

How can I find the workbook as it was yesterday/lastt time I opened it???

Seem to remember that autosaved files are in a library somewhere??!

Explanation / Answer

Below is the location where you?# might be able to locate the file:

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Office/Office 2011 AutoRecovery

As the '/Users/username/Library' folder is a hidden folder since OSX 10.7 and not by default searched by Spotlight.
