Hello, Would you please let us know the version of Word you are using? Here is another method that works with Word 2013 and is likely similar in Word 2010. However, if you are using an earlier version of Word the steps will be quite different.
1. Press Alt+F to enter the backstage view. 2. Use down arrow key to the Open tab. 3. Use Shift+Tab and if you find a "Recover unsaved documents" button use spacebar. If that button isn't showing tab until you find the Recent tab and use spacebar. Use Shift+Tab from that point and see if there is a "Recover unsaved documents" button. If so then press spacebar. 4. Use Shift+Tab until you are in a list of unsaved files. 5. Use up or down arrow key to the file you want and press enter key. Each file in the list should have a .ASP extension. 6. If the unsaved file opens in the Reading Layout mode use CTRL+Alt+P to switch to print view. 7. If you use F6 you should find a pane that tells you the file is a recovered document and if you use right arrow key you should find a Save As button. Use spacebar on that button to bring up the Save As dialog box. If the pane doesn't show then use F12 in the document and save the file. Again, the above is for Word 2013 so if you have an earlier version then please let us know. Take care. Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net ●● In Backstage view, click Recent. In the lower right corner of the Recent tab, click Recover Unsaved Documents (in Word), Recover Unsaved Workbooks (Excel), or Recover Unsaved Presentations (PowerPoint). -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mohib Anwar Rafel Sent: Monday, April 7, 2014 9:08 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to recover MS word document with the help of jaws?
