InDesign Tip - Forgot to save a document? Hit 'no' by accident?

Hi all,
Just today I was working on a file and when I quit, I of course managed to hit 'no' by accident. Luckily, I had one more file open and InDesign prompted me if i wanted to save that one. After hitting Cancel, I opened a new file, saved the other and force-quit InDesign remembering that it has a pretty decent crash recovery system.

Lo and behold, when I relaunched, there was the document I had told inDesign not to save.

Of course, be careful when doing this, perhaps there is a more elegant solution?

Not sure, but InD is definitely on the ball when it comes to 'temporary documents' and recovering from crashing.

Save and Save often,
Any Program!
Sincerely,
Rodrigue Planck
