There is not and never has been an AutoSave in Word; there is AutoRecover,
and your recovered document should have been presented to you the next time
you started Word. See

I was writing a paper for school, and was eight pages in when my computer
froze and shut itself down. I cannot find my paper anywhere. I know that
my
documents autosave every 10 min. Any suggestions on where I can find my
paper?
