Default Opening .tmp files (File Conversion)

tmp files are not necessarily copies of the documents they belong to. If
Word crashed and you don't have save autorecovery information active (or it
hasn't saved the autorecovery information) and you have not been regularly
saving the document and have no backups, then you are out of luck. To avoid
this problem in the future see
