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.

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.
Doug
