MS Office Forum / Word / Word Errors / March 2008rescue.asd
Twice now Word 2007 failed to write to a networked drive, and offered to save the file as "rescue.asd". But when I do so and close/reopen Word and ask it to open rescue.asd, it declares that .asd is not a valid extension. Renaming it to .docx and opening results in a corrupt file message. What good are .asd files if Word won't recover them?  SignatureRegards, Dean The .asd files are AutoRecovery backup files, which Word should open by default the next time you start the program. But only Word can open them; you can't. SignatureSuzanne S.

I don't clearly remember what happened, since I didn't know what SHOULD happen. Is there a way to get Word to try again?

Every now and then AutoRecovery just doesn't function as it should, unfortunately. SignatureSuzanne S.

Well, out of two failures Word2007 is batting 0. Are there any known problems in this area? Thanks, Dean >I don't think so.
