Hi Cher,
The recovered files are saved with the .asd extension. use the look-in box
in the open dialog within Word to browse to the path where the recovered
files are kept. I showed the default paths for XP and Vista in my message
to Sherri. There was also a link in the message to a very good article by
Microsoft on how to recover files.
Take care.

If you have the task pane unchecked though (as usually recommended for
JAWS)
where are those auto-recovered files. Had that problem recently and could
not locate them. The file under the user name/application settings was
garbage.

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.

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.
