recover a unsaved file in Pages '09 v4.2

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me to recover a couple of unsaved files. I was working on Pages '09 with several Pages opened and in an accidental click I closed two of these with out save. Do you know how to recover files from a Temp Folder or any Similar?

Thanks in advance,

-Daniel.

Since you're using Lion & Pages 4.2 autosave will have saved the files if you have saved them at least once. There is a folder of "unsaved documents" in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences but I have no idea how it works. The one time I tried opening one of the files I got an error, but you might have a different result. In Lion you need to go to Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
