Have you ever closed a tab while browsing the web and then realized you didn’t mean to? Rather than having to find the site again, there is an easy way to reopen a recently closed tab. Or, have you accidentally closed a Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint file before saving? Read on for simple tricks to recover the information you need in seconds.
How to Reopen a Recently Closed Tab on the Web
On Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge:
- Hold down Ctrl+Shift+T at the same time. (If you repeat this function, it will continue to open closed tabs in the order they were closed.)
- If you want to see all of your recent history, simply hold down CTRL+H at the same time to pull up a listing of your history.
On Safari (on a Mac):
- If you closed a tab by mistake recently, you can press Command+Z at the same time to undo.
- You can also access your prior history under the History tab at the top of your menu bar.
How to Reopen a Recently Closed Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint File
- First, open the application that you were using (i.e. Word, Excel, or PowerPoint).
- Click on File.
- Select Recent.
- Click Recover Unsaved Documents, Recover Unsaved Workbooks, or Recover Unsaved Presentations (depending on which application you are in).
- A new window will open with your unsaved files. Select open, and don’t forget to hit Save As so you don’t lose the file again!
Caveat: You need to have your settings set up in a way to auto save. There are two buttons in your settings that you must have turned on. Read below for directions to set up your auto save.
Directions to Set Up Auto Save
- Within the application (i.e. Word, Excel, or PowerPoint), select File, then Options. In the window that pops up, select Save from the sidebar. Make sure the following buttons are selected:
- Save AutoRecover information every “x” minutes (I have mine set to 10 minutes)
- Keep the last autosaved version if I close without saving

I have a working relationship with XAP Credit Solution and am also one of his success stories. He’s quick to respond with questions and knows his stuff. Let me start by stating that I have been a mortgage broker for nearly 15 years; so you can only imagine how many credit reports I have reviewed in that time. Here is a fact – not everyone has had perfect credit including myself. There are always different circumstances that land people in their current situation but you always have a choice to do something about it. When it comes to credit repair; I have referred a number of clients and friends to XAP with great results. I, for one, would not send personal friends to someone unless I had 100% confidence that they would be treated well and the results were proven. After seeing how well XAP’s program worked for my customers; I decided to move forward with my own credit repair. I strongly recommend [email protected] to anyone in need of credit repair.
