Default Lost document!

There is no specific folder, and your chances of finding it are slim to
none, anyway.

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

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

Thanks.

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

Now, what?

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,
