The best-known way of searching for a document in Microsoft Windows is to click start, click search, click on all files and folders. Once there they can type whatever they remember of the name of the file or just type *doc with that key word all of their word documents will be shown. Another way they can search is through the Auto Recover in Word. Simply go to tools and then options in the file locations tab. Once there double click Auto Recover files and write down the path location, click cancel and then close. Then they can go to their My Computer folder and search for any .asd files. An alternate way to do that is run the search the same way as the previous step but, instead of *.doc type *.asd. One final way to search Microsoft Word is to see if the ‘always create backup copy’ setting is enabled. The way to see if this is enabled is to click on the Microsoft Office Button and then the Word Options on the lower right hand corner and finally click Advanced. Then scroll the headings until they find the Save section, it is close to the bottom of the list. Check to see if the ‘always create backup copy’ setting that is located in the Save section is selected. Word will usually create a backup copy of the document they were working on. The best recommendation I can give a user to help them not misplace documents in the future is to make sure they save that document to a place where they can find it easier. This means to save it, go the file, save as, and then save it to their desktop or the document folder. Then make sure the users name the document with a name that has something in common with the document they are working
