Default WHow can i find the default saving folder for Word?

We started over again with new e-mail attachment saved it into ms word, made
changes and sent it out as an e-mail attachment using outlook express. Not
only did the message not get to the adresse (thinks that correct spelling)
but message can't be located in sent file. We feel as though we are snake
bitten.

This is why we recommend that you never open attachments directly but
instead save them to the hard drive before opening. No matter how many times
you save a file opened from an attachment, it is saved in a temporary folder
and deleted when you quit Word.

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.
