Why do you think this is a bad idea? The AutoRecovery backups are saved to
the HD regardless of the location of the file itself, and the more often
they are made (up to a point), the better.

They may already be corrupted, then, by having been saved directly to
a
floppy, or by previous attempts at opening. You may be able to extract
the
text contents by using the "Recover Text from Any File" setting in the
Open
dialog. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm
Susanne,
A very relevant link, the contents of which I am still studying. Other
advice is getting me there slowly and is very much appreciated. Just
one point at the moment: I have 'Save AutoRecover info every 10
minutes' enabled and I am not sure that this is a good idea yet for the
likes of myself and my wife, who I am helping. What are your thoughts
on that please?
Thanks,
Emrys Davies.
