What the OS DOES do and SHOULD do can be miles apart and if the shutdown was
a crash or BSOD, they could be there when you crank back up. Just don't open
Word before recovering the scraps...move them to another directory...Word
could make then go away.
Most times they are scraps. However, look for the biggest one in the general
timeframe. Sometimes I've been lucky enough to get back almost all of the
document, and if you open in Word rather than NP, sometimes you can get
formatting too.
