Find an edited attachment save while still attached to the email
I spent over an hour editing (and saving) a word document - when it was
complete, I saved and closed it. The problem is, it was still an attachment to the email, I forgot to save it to my desktop or anywhere else on my computer. When I opened the attachment, it was the original, without the changes I made. Where is the document I saved? This was not done in Outlook, it was attached to an email in a hotmail account. Is there any hope of finding the edited document?? |

Find an edited attachment save while still attached to the email
You should never open Word attachments directly from e-mail - however it
*may* be possible to recover your changes. See http://www.gmayor.com/outlook_attachments.htm (though if the file has been saved locally it may not be in the identical folder indicated). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Denise Schmidt wrote: I spent over an hour editing (and saving) a word document - when it was complete, I saved and closed it.

Find an edited attachment save while still attached to the ema
Thank you for your quick response, however, the email was in a hotmail
account, not outlook. Will that site still be able to help me find the document? If I open the file (still attached to the email) it now adds [1] to the end of the file name so I know my saved copy exists somewhere....
