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
