I located the .asd, but then Word wanted to know what program I wanted to use to open it. I told it Word, but then got an error. I'll check the link later and see if I'm missing something along the way. Thanks for the information.

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.
