    Where does Word 2010 save temporary files?

    A co-worker lost a day's work b/c Word crashed and the auto recovered document didn't reflect her work. What folder does Word save temporary or auto-saved documents to?

    Any other suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this? Thanks.

    It usually saves them in the folder where the document being edited is located.

    It helped me.

    Andrew,

    I don't know if this helped anyone else, but it sure helped me.

    I thought I had been saving versions of this document but I had nothing but something from yesterday after an odd crash.

    I did not think I could recover a file this way.

    That was a great link.
