Default Saved document? (2)

Auto recovery doesn't 'save' the document every ten minutes. It only saves
autorecovery information for use in the event of a crash. If you have
over-written an earlier version and don't have a backup, then it is gone.

I believe to have saved a word document say at 23:30, but the file on
the OS reads 18:10.

I have auto-recovery turned on to save every 10 minutes, and I cannot
find any copies of the file.

Any ideas how to recover?
