Word: Locating Recovered Autosave Files
ID: Q70962
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, versions 5.0, 5.5, 6.0
SUMMARY
If you run Microsoft Word for MS-DOS version 5.0 on a stand-alone
computer (no network), Word places any recovered autosave files in the
disk and directory path where the Word program files reside.
If you run Word 5.0 on a network and the SET MSWNET variable is
active, Word places recovered autosave files in the drive and
directory path specified by the SET MSWNET variable.
If you run Word version 5.5 on a stand-alone computer, Word places any
recovered autosave files in the same disk directory on the hard drive
from which the original file(s) were opened. If the document was
retrieved from a floppy, the recovered autosave files are saved to the
Word directory or where the .INI file is stored.
If you run Word 5.5 on a network and the SET MSWNET55 variable is
active, Word attempts to recover any autosave files in the following
locations and in the following order:
- The original directory from which the file(s) were opened.
- The drive and directory specified by the SET MSWNET55 variable, if
the original drive and directory path does not exist, or if the file
is read-only.
- The Word 5.5 program directory, if the SET MSWNET55 variable does
not exist. If the file being restored already exists, it will be
copied to disk with a .BAK extension. If the file being recovered is
open, the recovered autosave file replaces the old file in the active
window.
