I want to know where it stores temporary files or backups of files. Such as C:/Documents and Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/ when you are looking for the temporary files for say word or something. A lady at my office accidentally overrode a file that she needed and for some reason it had never been backed up. I wanted to know how to recover word perfect files like you do word files.

Noticed I got over 100 views and still nobody knows. Figures, that program sucks. Still looking for a way though if anyone has it.

Open WordPerfect, and then click on “Edit”, then “Preferences", and then on the “Files” icon. Check the backup folder window for where WordPerfect is currently going to store your backup copy. If you want your backup copy stored elsewhere, navigate around until you have the directory/folder you want used for this purpose appearing in the “Look In” window, then click “Select”. Right below the backup folder window is the “Timed document backup every” setting. Make sure you have a check mark in the box, and a time value in the “minutes” window. Click “Apply” and then “OK”.
got that from an old manual, i dont know if i remember correctly, but i believe the backups (timed) get deleted too.
