JB typed:
I received a word doc by email, opened and id quite a lot
of reviewing work on it, saving it several times. I
restarted the computer and the file which is still as an
attachment in Outlook Express is exactly as I received it
and all the editing and marking has gone!
Where can the file be?

Word 2003 Professional

Help!!!

Always test things you haven't done before, especially if you're going to
put much effort into them. Your edited file is somewhere in a temporary
file. What you should have done is saved the attachment to disk, edited
that, and use it to send back or print or whatever.
So, now that you've discovered you shouldn't edit a file without it being
saved to your hard drive with a name you know, just consider it as a good
lesson learned and move on.
A search for words in the file might recover the right temp file for you,
but there may be several of them, so watch out what you end up trying to
save.

HTH,
