Why won't Word autorecover a file with a more recent ~$name.tmp fi

[Guest]

I lost power on my computer several hours after saving a word document. There
is a ~$filename.tmp file along with the last saved version in the directory,
but word does not ask to autorecover when opening. I also tried the "open and
repair" option, but it does not get the latest version that way either. The
time on my temp file is just before I lost power so I know it is more recent.
How can I make Word recover the file????

Thanks,
Zak

Nevermind....I actually was not aware of this forum until I made the post.
After I searched the forum, I found the answer to my question.
