You should never open Word attachments directly from e-mail - however it
*may* be possible to recover your changes. See

Thanks for the reply. While the document sved was an attachment to
an e-mail it was modified in ms word. While I have not located the
desired file have located one saved and modified under similar
circumstance but when opening it it asks for "what program" when then
opened only a few symbols appear no text. Any help appreciated
Hi George,
The normal default save folder for new Word documents is listed in
Tools=Options=File locations.
For the folder name you listed, that would likely be an Internet
Explorer temporary file storage folder. That behavior might happen
if you opened an email attachment without first saving the
attachment to your disk.
If your Internet Explorer temporary files have been cleared the file
is likely gone. You can check in Internet Explorer through
Tools=Internet Options=general= Temporary Internet
Files=Settings=View files
to review what is there.
You may also be able to find it using Start=Search if you know the
file name.
