Where did my saved file go? MS Office Word '07

by gmu77 - 1/9/13 11:44 AM

I opened a Word document that was sent to me as an attachment to an email. I made edits to the document and repeatedly hit the save icon. Unfortunately, I did NOT do a 'Save As' to My Documents. I closed out of Word and now cannot access the saved file. Where is it?

Open up the email that the doc was attached to and reopen the document. It will have your updates, and you can do a Save as from there.

Good luck.

Thank you for the assistance. Unfortunately, I tried that already without success. The original email attachment only reverts to the version without my edits.

Windows Search does not usually find it. Remember your command line skills and look for it with DIR

Bring up Word and look

Click the round orb in the upper left corner of the Word window and you should see the last 15 documents that it's processed. You should see it there.

Good luck.

Do you use GMAIL?

Head to gmail.com and get your document off the email there. It won't have the edits.
