Recovering lost Word (or other MS Office) documents

I'm adding a third tool to my chest on recovering MS Word (or other Office documents).

You can access ASD files (autorecover files) here:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word

Other places to look for missing files (per this post):
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook

Or via this method to recover unsaved Word docs:

Skype click to call disables copy paste in MS Word 2007

I've seen this twice - an installation of Skype Click to Call (which I think is mostly useless anyway) keeps MS Word 2007 from copying and pasting normally.  In my most recent test, I opened a Word doc and edited the font size and font color.  I copied that text and went into a new document.  I pasted it and all formatting was lost.  I went into paste -> special on the new doc, and the only two formats I could paste in were forms of unicode text (rich text and/or HTML or others not there).

After removing Skype Click to Call, I could copy and paste normally between Word documents.

Word template, normal.dot, can still get corrupt

It had been a while since I had seen a corrupt normal.dot until yesterday. Word would only open in safe mode and I got this error in the application event log:

event id 1000

Faulting application winword.exe, version 11.0.8202.0, stamp 47420667, faulting module winword.exe, version 11.0.8202.0, stamp 47420667, debug? 0, fault address 0x008dd26c.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

All I did was delete the user's normal.dot and then it was fixed.
