And if that doesn't do it, set JAWS cursor to unrestricted and use it
to search. If it's there, the JAWS cursor should find it. Then rout
PC to JAWS and you're in business. If you're lucky, though, there's
an easier way.

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.

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.
