Hi Severin, I don’t use Word, so not sure if the Mac’s Auto-Save and versions work the same as in Text Edit. In Text Edit on documents I have edited a few times. I can View & can Revert back to a version I want.
Select the document, then Go to File > Browse All Versions Revert to (OS X Mavericks and later): This option in the app's File menu allows you to access previous versions of the current document. See Browse All Versions, below, for details. Browse All Versions: When you select this menu item, the display changes to show you a Time Machine-like view of all of the versions of the document. The current version is shown on the left; all other versions are shown on the right. You can select a version and compare it to the current document. The time and date of each version is shown in the timeline slider on the right, and just below the frontmost document. Clicking Done will return you to the current document; clicking Restore will take you back to the selected version. By using the Auto-Save and Versions features, you can work with documents without worrying about accidentally changing a document, forgetting to save it, or experiencing a power outage.
