That said, take a few minutes to read and find out how to recover a word document through a few simple steps.

In cases of blackout it is possible recover a Word document taking advantage of the hidden functions of the Microsoft suite. From Word 2010 a feature has been introduced that creates a temporary draft of the document you are working on and which can be used to retrieve the work you are doing.

To find a saved draft, all you have to do is start Word, go to File> Information and click on the Manage versions button at the bottom of the page and select Recover unsaved documents.
