Default Where does Word 2010 save temporary files?

The AutoRecover file usually does not contain all the information in a file
that has crashed. If the "auto-save" interval is set to ten minutes, you
will lose at least the last ten minutes of your work.

For future reference, you need to save backups regularly. See the article at
http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm.

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.
