Default recover saved but reverted document

I have opened a word 2000 document from an email, worked on the doc saving it
as I go then it has reverted to a previously saved version of the same name
that was already on the computer, I can't find my saved parts of the doc.

Hi Pat

I assume that you opened the document from the email, made changes to that
document, and then did File Save. Unfortunately, that saves your document
nowhere. Or, to be specific, when you open the document from the email,
Windows creates a temporary file. You made changes to it and saved it. But
your work was saved in a temporary file which later disappears.

The way to proceed is this. Receive the email. Save the file from the email
message to your hard drive. Now, open Word and do File Open to open the
document from your hard drive. And work on it from there.

Hope this helps.
