Most commonly, the file extension ASD indicates an AutoSave file for Microsoft Word. When you're working on a document, Word automatically creates backup files in case the program crashes. Converting an ASD file may be your only chance to recover lost work. You can open an ASD file in Word and convert it to a DOC file.
