How can I Retrieve Chart in Microsoft Office Word.xlsx If not saved propely?

[shoaibishaaqiiu]

Hi every one,


I insert chart in MS word document. The related data is stored in "Chart in Microsoft Office Word.xlsx" file by default.
Before closing the word document if I save the "Chart in Microsoft Office Word.xlsx" file with "Save As" option then it is available for next time to be edited. But, on the other hand, If I just save it with "Save" option before closing the word or "Chart in Microsoft Office Word.xlsx" file then it is never available for editing the table.
Where does MS Word or Windows save the "Chart in Microsoft Office Word.xlsx". by default. I have lost my chart data file. I tried to retrieve it through Windows search option but it shows "No result found".
If any one know please help me. I am completing my thesis and my heavy data is lost due to this problem. It may take me a long time to generate the data again. Thanx in advance

Hi Shoaib,

Try this:
1. Using Windows Explorer, make a copy of the document.
2. Change the copy's extension from docx to zip
3. Open the zip archive and see if your xlsx file is in there; if so, you can extract it.
4. Close & delete the zip archive.
