Default lost document


No, it is not necessary ever to have saved. I've been having problems where
IE hangs my computer so hard that I have to cut the power to it and restart.
Every time I do, Word 2003 presents me a recovered Document1 with a single
space in it (I type that space when I start Word in order to keep Document1
open all day as a scratch pad). Since this recovered Document1 is identical
to the Document1 that was created by Word at startup aside from the space I
have yet to type into it, I opt to delete it, but it is there.

_If_ she had saved it at least once.

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?-
