Word crashed!!
When you're computer crashes, as it just happened to me, Word maintains a
copy of the last saved document, right? (please say yes). If so, where can I find that? Help please!! Thank you. (I'm using Microsoft Word 2000.) |

KC, thanks for your response. Just to make sure that I explained myself
correctly. I am trying to recover a document, not the application. The application works just fine, but I lost some information I had entered in a document I was editing. That's what I'm trying to recover, a document, not the application.

When you open the document that was open during the crash, you should
get the Recovered form of it, with some notes about when and how it was recovered. Unless it had never been Saved in the first place.

If you have AutoRecovery enabled (which it is by default, I believe), and
the document was edited long enough for an AutoRecovery backup to be saved, it will be presented to you when you next start Word. And of course the last manually saved version will also be available (and may be more recent than the AutoRecovery backup if you have saved frequently). -- Suzanne S.

Peter, yes, that's what usually happens, but this time it did not. That's
why I was asking, because it didn't automatically open the recovered file when I opened the regular file after the crash. I don't know why??? "Peter T.

Suzanne, unfortunately that didn't happen. You're right, on previous
occasions when I've had crashes, what you describe is usually what happens--except this time. And when I go to Tools and check, yes, AutoRecovery is enabled. "Suzanne S.

Yeah, sometimes it just doesn't work, though I find that it is much more
reliable in Word 2003 than previous versions because Word saves the file *as* it's crashing (unfortunately not the case when it hangs). -- Suzanne S.

Word crashed!!
Autorecovery was poor in Word 2000, but if an autorecovery file was saved
Word stores its recovery files at %appdata%\Microsoft\Word - enter this line in the address bar of your browser, which will open the folder and see if there is a filename *.asd present. You *may* be able to open it in Word. Whether you can recover the document or not, see also http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm to clean up the mess caused by the crash and help prevent the problem re-occurring. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org macandal wrote: Suzanne, unfortunately that didn't happen.
