Thanks for the site, it will be very helpful next time. The strange thing is
that I saved the document every few minutes. But after the crash the
"Original" document was missing text much farther back than my last save
(probably a whole days worth of work), and this has happened before on my
computer. The "Recovered" document could not be opened by word. The .wbk file
also could not be opened by word. And there was no .asd file for some
reason. And I was also not able to recover just the text from any document.
So I was confused as to what the problem was with the Autorecovery. Any
insight would be really appreciated as this seems to happen every so often.
(I'm running Office 2003).
Thanks!

recover the file, then it is lost.

just the text either. Does anyone know how to get the file to open?
