The need for Doc recovery arises when somehow while using Microsoft Word we shut down our program prior to successfully saving our work. Newer versions of Microsoft Word will actually reconstruct and save our file in the event of a power crash. And almost all versions of Microsoft Word have an auto save feature set at a default of 10 minutes time, meaning that every 10 minutes our work is saved automatically. Yet somehow very often we attempt to open a file we had been working on just minutes or the day before and discover that huge portions of our work if not the entire file are missing.
