When you open a document from an e-mail attachment it opens as a temporary
file. You make and save your changes to that temporary file and when you
close Word the temporary file is gone - so don't do it! See also

I have a problem when I save a word file that I have downloaded off of the
internet site where I do online teaching. If I click save as, I then
choose
the location in my computer. And it works fine. If I download the file,
and
then click save, and then edit the file, and then click save, and then
close
the file, it disappears. I can not find it anywhere in my computer. The
search option in my startup menu will not find it.
Where is it? How do I get to it?
Help, please.

I'll make an honest attempt to give this question/feedback a positive
twist.
I have been using Word/Excel etc. for years now and consider myself
somewhat
of an expert user. Now I have a new computer with Vista and Office 2007.
And
I essentially find myself facing this predicament of going up an
enormously
steep learning curve, i.e. relearning how to wordprocess and spreadsheet
almost from scratch all over again. The new and improved of Office 2007
apps
may look much more "politically correct" than in previous versions, but
so
far my experience has been that it can hardly get any less user friendly
and
more convoluted than this. I'm giving it a very serious try here, but I'm
also beginning to think about throwing in the towel. Anybody out there
that
can offer any useful advice as to how I can actually start using the
Office
2007 applications without letting all my previous experience and know-how
completely go to waste?
