Word AutoRecovery files (.wbk)
I can see my Word AutoRecovery files (.wbk) but cannot open them. I get the
message "The document name or path is not valid." I am using Word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1). Please advise me. |

Autorecovery files are not directly openable in Word, however, Word's
default automatic backup files are named Backup of filename.wbk by default and these files should be openable in Word. How are you opening them? From Word file open? From Explorer? It would probably be worth re-registering Word to correct its file associations. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John in Bhopal wrote: I can see my Word AutoRecovery files (.wbk) but cannot open them.

To expand upon what Graham has said, there is a difference between backup
(.wbk) files and AutoRecovery save (.asd) files. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/AutomaticSave.htm -- Suzanne S.
