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:

Retrieving a document from Office 2010 when you close it and choose not to save

A user showed this to me - a method for retrieving a document from Office 2010 when you close it and choose not to save.

Let's say you've got a document and choose "Don't Save" when you close Word.












You can re-open Word and go to File - Recent and click on "Previous Unsaved Documents"















You'll find that you have your list of unsaved documents available for you to open.
