i am having a massively large problem with working on a file i recieved as a
attachment, in more detail..

1 i sent a large piece of coursework to my my hotmail account
2 i get home, click on the attachment, select open & continue to work on the
piece for many hours (regularly saving using the save button)
3 after closing the file in order to send it via email i cannot find it or
reopen it whatsoever

if ANYONE has any idea where ive saved it to i would owe and love them for
life, my uni place depends on this =)

You need to save that file to your hard drive BEFORE editing it.

In the meantime, if you aren't using Vista you can try

Open the file from Word's recent file list. Then save it to a known
location using Save As. Outlook attachments are kept in a hard to find
temporary folder.
