Hello,
Here are three different methods you can try and hopefully one of them works for you. Below are the steps that should work in Word 2010: Method 1: 1. When in Word 2010 press Alt+F to enter the backstage view. 2. Use down arrow key to the Open tab. 3. Use Shift+Tab and if you find a "Recover unsaved documents" button use spacebar. If that button isn't showing tab until you find the Recent tab and use spacebar. Use Shift+Tab from that point and see if there is a "Recover unsaved documents" button. If so then press spacebar. 4. Use Shift+Tab until you are in a list of unsaved files. 5. Use up or down arrow key to the file you want and press enter key. Each file in the list should have a .ASD extension. 6. If the unsaved file opens in the Reading Layout mode use CTRL+Alt+P to switch to print view. 7. If you use F6 you should find a pane that tells you the file is a recovered document and if you use right arrow key you should find a Save As button. Use spacebar on that button to bring up the Save As dialog box. If the pane doesn't show then use F12 in the document and save the file. Method 2: 1. When in a Word document press Alt+F and then use up or down arrow key until you find the Info tab. 2. Tab to the "Manage versions" button and press spacebar. 3. Press spacebar on "Recover unsaved documents." 4. Use shift+tab a couple times to find a list of unsaved documents if there are any listed in the open folder. You might need to tab to the Files of Type box and set it to All files. If no documents are shown in the current folder you might need to browse to the folder containing the .ASD file. 5. use up and down arrow keys to select the file to open and press enter on your choice. 6. Save the file as a Word document. Press F12 to get the Save As dialog box, name your file, tab to the files of type and choose the Word document .DOCX type. Method 3: 1. Perform a search of your computer for all files using *.ASD as your search term. 2. Find the location of the file if it appears as a result of the search. You can use your up or down arrow key to move on to the file, press the application key, use up arrow key to the properties choice and press enter key. Use tab key in the properties to the location box and make note of the location. If no location is found by using tab key then route JAWS to PC and use up or down arrow key until you find the location box to hear the location of the file. 3. Open Word. 4. Set files of type to All files. 5. Browse to the location of the ASD file and use the enter key on the name of the file to open it. 6. Save the file by using function key 12. Make sure the files of type shows Word document (.docx). I hope one of these methods works for you. Take care.

Somehow an important document closed, but it never asked me to save it. I cannot remember the file name, but I hope it is still living somewhere. I think it is and that there was a process to accomplish this operation. Thanks for all help and I hope this never happens again!
