lost document

[Guest VAWriter]

I was working in a word document that I opened from an e-mail attachment.

Instead of clicking "Save As" to save it, I clicked the disk icon in the

upper left corner. Now I can't find the document. I've searched by date and

key word, looked in all my document folders and hidden folders. Is there any

way to find this document?

There is a list of recently opened documents at the lowest part of the file

menu, you can open it from there. Also if you have not deleted the mail yet,

open it from there.

Assume e mail gone?

Have you got another with an attachment; if so click "save as" and see

where it's going.

Probably in Outlook Express temporary folder.

When you work on a file you received as an attachment, you should *always*

do a 'save as' first, before making any changes. What you were working on

was a temporary copy of the file, and sadly, the changes may not have been

saved.

As another reply mentioned, you can try the 'most recent files' menu in

Word, but if it ain't there, you'll need to start over.

Are you looking for a new file, or the attachment. Can you open

the attachment?
