Hello guys.

A colleague of mine swear that she saved her Word document. At least half a dozen of time before closing it.

Now, It's gone. We looked in every folder possible. Did a search (querying the hidden file and folders and The system one)

and there is nothing.

We did a search by words in the document itself and nothing.

It wasn't saved on a Floppy, CD or USB drive nor a network drive.

Where can it possibly be?

I'd have her type another word document and show you how she's saving it

[Alex @ Atelka]

Already tried. It's not there.

[AcaCandy]

What directory is it being saved to?

[Rich-M]

Yeah let her save another one the same way and see where it is going. You might also be able to find it off the Start menu "Recent Documents".

Based on what you've described it sounds like maybe your colleague opened the document directly from an email and was saving to a temp file that was eventually deleted when the email application was closed. Could this be the case?

Regards,
Rollin

Thank you guys for the advices.

A special thanks to Rollin_Again. It was exactly that.

My colleagues are now advised.
