Hey guys,

I was working on a paper in MS Word on my NOTEBOOK. I walked away from the PC for about 10 minutes, came back, and saw that my comp. had restarted. I figured, no biggie, AutoRecover should have saved the .doc. I open Word and...nothing. I searched for .asd files, I searched for .temp files...nothing.

Is my document lost?! Can someone please help? AutoRecover was set to 10 mins. and this file was open for hours...could it be totally gone?That's why you always save files every few minutes

I REMEMBER once my computer crashed and I had to restart so I lost my work on word.
All I did was get the search BAR up in ms word and typed 'recover file' and then there were a list of documents and I got my recoverd file back.

The search bar for me is to the left of the close button at the TOP of the screen
I typed in "recover file", but I got a bunch of help links ("About document recovery," etc.). Is there some other search function I'm missing out on?You might want to check out this sight:
