Default When I open a doc andclose Word, the doc isn't in Recently Opened

The workaround is never to open messages directly from Outlook attachments
(particularly in versions before 2007), but to save them to the hard drive
first. If you have opened the documents from the message and made changes,
you *may* be able to recover them. See
http://www.gmayor.com/outlook_attachments.htm .

Word 2007 handles things a little differently, in that it will not readily
allow you to save changes to the temporary location.

I often get Word .docs as attachments to email in Outlook 2003.

I click on the .doc and it opens, and I look at it. But if I close
the .doc and hope to see it again in the "Recently Opened Documents"
list, it isn't there.

Why don't these documents show up where they are supposed to? And is
there a workaround?

Thanks.

Don.
