If you have the task pane unchecked though (as usually recommended for JAWS) where are those auto-recovered files. Had that problem recently and could not locate them. The file under the user name/application settings was garbage.

Try pressing function key 6 and see if it changes to the pane where documents to be recovered are listed. If so, try moving on to the document to be recovered and using the application key to see if you have choices for opening, saving or deleting the recovered file. You might also try tabbing in the pane to see if you come to those choices. If you can't get the info you want in the recovery pane then you can try to open the recovered file from within Word. Use the open dialog box and set the files of type to All. If using XP then in the look-in list in the open dialog browse to c:\documents and settings\your user name\application data\Microsoft\word, press enter on the last part of that path (Word) to set it as the active folder in the look-in box, tab three times to the list and look for files with an ASD extension. If using Vista then in the open dialog box in Word again set files of type to All and then browse the c:\users\Your user name\app data\roaming\Microsoft\word and then look for files with the extension ASD in that folder. Here is a link to an article by Microsoft on using various methods for recovering documents. Hopefully, the F6 will take you to the recovery pane and you can open the recovered documents from there. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827099 Take care.
