It's perhaps worth repeating that this facility - useful though it is
and wise indeed are the users who make use of it - does not "save
your document" in the normal sense of those words: that is, replace
the existing document file on disk with updated versions as you edit.
That is achieved only by occasional use of File | Save (or Ctrl+S).
Instead, what it does is to salt away information that can be used
later to recover your session up to the last automatic action, but
*only* in the event of some less than gracious termination of the
editing session: perhaps a program crash or power outage. If a
session is terminated normally - by closing the document or the
program, with or without saving - then the recovery information is
deleted and no longer available.
Oh, and it's no help to the original questioner, who didn't have any
sort of crash but said she mistakenly clicked Discard when closing a
modified document.
