Hello Sherri,
If I remember correctly, the names of the recovered files are shown in the
recovery task pane. Try pressing function key 6 and see if it changes to
the pane where documents to be recovered are listed. If so, try moving on
to the document to be recovered and using the application key to see if you
have choices for opening, saving or deleting the recovered file. You might
also try tabbing in the pane to see if you come to those choices. If you
can't get the info you want in the recovery pane then you can try to open
the recovered file from within Word. Use the open dialog box and set the
files of type to All. If using XP then in the look-in list in the open
dialog browse to c:\documents and settings\your user name\application
data\Microsoft\word, press enter on the last part of that path (Word) to set
it as the active folder in the look-in box, tab three times to the list and
look for files with an ASD extension. If using Vista then in the open
dialog box in Word again set files of type to All and then browse the
c:\users\Your user name\app data\roaming\Microsoft\word and then look for
files with the extension ASD in that folder.
Here is a link to an article by Microsoft on using various methods for
recovering documents. Hopefully, the F6 will take you to the recovery pane
and you can open the recovered documents from there.

Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] accessing the autorecovery task pane with Jaws 10
Hello all,
I am using Word 2003 and Jaws 10. I had the computer shut down suddenly
and it said that documents had been saved in the autorecovery task pane.
How do I get to that? Where do I find the list of documents? Thanks for
any help.
