There is generally a default file location where all your attachments from
GMail would be saved if you didn't choose a directory on purpose. To find
out where that is, just open any attachment from GMail - doesn't matter what
type and doesn't have to be the same one - and do a filesave as. When you
do this, it will show you at the top of the save as dialog box, the drop down
location - this will list the folder default location. Your file you edited
should be in that location.

I opened a word (97-2003, ".doc") document from gmail.com last night and
began editting it. I keep saving the document and clicking ctrl+s
periodically. At the end of the night, I closed the document to be able to
resend it to myself via email. I had no idea that it wasn't saved on the
desktop. I have search every single temp file and temporary internet folder
on my C drive and cannot find the "saved" document ANYWHERE. I am panicing
because it is a graduate school application, that's due today. Where can I
find this document?
In addition, there is a chance I found the document but whatever it is is is
saved as a ".dat" file. I have Windows 2007 and have tried microsoft word,
notepad, word processor, adobe pdf, etc. to try to open it but when I do it
looks like computer code. If this is the document how do I get it to show up
like a regular word document? PLEASE HELP! Thank you
