[JAWSLite] Re: how to retrieve from the Document Recovery Pane

Hi:

The Document Recovery task pane allows you to open the files, view what 
repairs were made, and compare the recovered versions. You can then save 
the best

version and delete the other versions, or save all of the open files to 
review later.

The Document Recovery  task pane lists all the files that were recovered 
when the program stopped responding.

Following the name of the file will be a status indicator, which shows what 
was done to the file during recovery.



Status Indicator :

[Original]

Original file based on last manual save

[Recovered]

File recovered during recovery process or file saved during a AutoRecover 
save process

When you restart a Microsoft Office program after a power failure or 
similar problem, the program automatically opens any recovered files. If 
for some reason

the recovery file didn't open, you can open it yourself.

1. On the Standard  toolbar, click Open .

2. In the folder list, locate and double-click the folder where recovered 
files are stored.

• The location is usually C:\documents and settings\<username>\Application 
Data\Microsoft\<program name>.



3. In the Files of type box, click All Files. Each recovered file is named 
"AutoRecover Save of file name" and has the program file name extension.



4. Click the name of the file you want to recover, and then click Open.

5. On the Standard toolbar, click Save .

6. In the File name box, enter the name of the existing file.

7. When you see a message asking whether or not you want to replace the 
existing file, click Yes.



If The recovered file does not contain your changes, then showing  AllThe 
amount of new information that the recovered file contains depends on how 
frequently a Microsoft Office program saves the recovery file. For example,

if the recovery file is saved only every 15 minutes, your recovered file 
won't contain your last 14 minutes of work before the power failure or 
similar

problem occurred. To change the AutoRecover save interval, enter a number 
in the minutes box on the Save tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu).

You can further protect your work by using the AutoRecover feature to 
periodically save a temporary copy of the file you're working on. To 
recover work

after a power failure or similar problem, you must have turned on the 
AutoRecover feature before the problem occurred. You can set the 
AutoRecover save

interval to occur more frequently than every 10 minutes (its default 
setting). For example, if you set it to save every 5 minutes, you'll 
recover more

information than if you set it to save every 10 minutes.



With AutoRecover on, if an Office program stops responding while you have 
files open, you can use the Microsoft Office Application Recovery dialog 
box and

recovered files will be displayed in the Document Recovery task pane. The 
data in the files reflects the last time AutoRecover saved the files. 
AutoRecover

should not be used as a substitute for manually saving or backing up your 
files.





Recover files





1. If the Microsoft Office program you are using is not responding, recover 
the program.

2. Open the Office program.

3. Review the files listed in the Document Recovery

task pane

, and decide which to keep.

4. For each file you want to keep, point to the file in the Document 
Recovery task pane, click the arrow next to the file's name, and then do 
one of the

following:

• To work with the file, click Open.

• To save the file, click Save As, and then enter a name for the file. By 
default, the file is saved in the same folder as the original file. If you 
use

the same name as the original file, the original is overwritten. When you 
see a message asking whether you want to replace the existing file (with 
the

changes you made up to the last time you saved the file), click Yes.

5. When you have opened or saved all of the files you want to keep, click 
Close in theDocument Recovery task pane.

If a Microsoft Office program encounters a problem and stops responding, 
you can close the program in a controlled manner. The files you were 
working on

are analyzed for errors, and information in them is recovered if possible. 
In some cases, however, no information can be recovered.

Subject: [JAWSLite] how to retrieve from the Document Recovery Pane


Hi,

I had to shut down my PC because Jaws just died. I was in the middle of a 
document which I hadn't saved in Excel. Jaws usually gives me a dialogue 
box which asks if I want to be able to view the document recovery pane 
because of lost files. How do I do this and get back to the file on which I 
was working?

Thank you.

Best,

Lauren
