working with E-mail Attachments

Hi,

I received an e-mail with a Word attachment. I opened it and worked on it,
then saved it. Where is it?

I realise that i should have done a 'saved as' then renamed it and saved
where I knew where it was, but i did not, I just pressed save and now I
cannot find it.

I did alot of work on it and could do with finding it or repeat several
hours of work.

Your help would be greatfully appreciated.

thanks in advance Ian

If it was a Word attachment and then you saved it do the following to find it.

Simple. Do a search for *.doc and see where it is on your drive

By default, Word saves attachments in %userprofile%/Documents.

Unless you used Save As to save it outside the mail message, it might be in
Temporary Internet Files but you're probably just plain out of luck.

Do not reply with email

Have you checked the recently used files list in Word?
