How do I access the Document recovery task pane in Excel

The Document Recovery task pane (where previous versions of files that have
been saved using the auto recovery feature are stored) does not seem to
appear each time I go into Excel. How do I force this task pane to appear on
the screen.

On one occasion, I went to the length of re-installing Office and it
appeared again when I first entered Excel. This time I did the same and even
that didn,t work ?

I am using Office 2003 Professional

I think that this is one of those things you have no control over.

If excel/windows crashed, then the next time you start up excel, it's smart
enough to notice that something bad happened and shows you those options.

But if nothing bad happened when you closed excel, those recovery files are
deleted.

Applies to Excel 2010, don't know about earlier versions...

If Excel started up with the document recovery pane and then it goes away without you closing it, there should be a recovery button down below in the status bar. Only applies If you did not or have not closed the recovery pane, either inadvertently or on purpose.
