It is always good practice to save the document with a meaningful name
as soon as you open a new document - it shouldn't remain untitled - - or
just after - you start typing text in it.
You might find it in the Temporary files, if you haven't done much in
Word since then. (It might have a .wbk extension, or perhaps a ~.doc
[tilde dot doc] extension. If you were lucky, you might find a document
with the .ard suffix - Auto-Recovered Document.)
For future reference, look now through Microsoft Word's Save Tab - Tools
| Options - for relevant controls.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] lost speech while in ms word 2003
I am not sure if anything can be done to fix this but I will ask
anyway. I was writing a word document (should have periodically
named/saved it) creating a backup when I lost speech and had to reboot.
However, I thought MS word had a feature to make backups every so often
even if you did not name your open untitled document yet. If so where
can I look to recover this document? I wrote a lot of text and really
am not keen on writing it over. (smile/depressed)
