Hi George Running word does not open them but, when I go to close Word, I am asked if I want to view the recovered documents the next time I open Word. There is a check box for yes, no and cancel. Checking yes, then re-starting Word does not open them. However, this did mention the task pane. I found the task paine in View but I'm struggling to open the files in here. Jaws 5.1 isnt' very good with this, it seems. Any suggestions?

I had a few files open in Word. I know that Windows has some document recovery, but I have no idea how to get into them. Anyone help? Thanks Barry
