I love you you saved my life tears . I had a college essay due final paper and lost it . The auto recovery worked for me . The Microsoft word version in my Mac doesn’t support the causal features so having to locate the folder to find auto recovery using the finder in mac was the best . Thank you sir for your godly service !
