Default Lost document!

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!!!

JB

Always save the document to your local HDD documents folder before editing.

The document in question will be somewhere in your Internet Temporary files:
there's an awful lot of them. So use Windows Search, narrow the search to
the Internet Temp folders and search for *.doc. But did you not try 'Recent
Documents' in Word?

The problem id the ie5 folder is apparently empty. I wonder if I have IE
configured to empty it every time I restart. I guess if that is the case the
file has gone forever!

Thanks.

Problem is there is no OLK44 in the Temporray Internet Files folder!

Now, what?

The file might be lost. Or since you aren't using Outlook, but Outlook
Express, it might also be in a different folder.

I think there's no question the document is a lost cause--a painful lesson
that one should never open an attachment directly and edit it.

For future reference, what is the folder that I should look for in Outlook
Express, if it is not OLK44?
