Saved document from email but not sure of the location

[fetster]

My sister has opened a word document in Outlook and been working on it all day in word, clicking on the save button each time to save it.


She has just gone back to her computer and turned it back on but she doesn't know where it has been saved. Will it have been saved in a temp folder somewhere? If so where will the temp folder be?

Thanks in advance

Can she not just reopen it through word?
If not, i guess she could try and reopen the attachment again and save it to see where it saves to, if it's all set on default i guess it would go to the same spot each time.

Sometimes editing an attachment (e.g. a word file) which has been double clicked from within Outlook actually edits the contents of the attachment, so it might be worth opening up the attachment again to see if the changes have been saved there.

If not check the %temp% and C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\ folders.

It is usually saved in My Documents - at least for me it always has. It tends to choose the last location you saved to, so you could try opening the attachement again and clicking Save As as Parky suggested.

Failing that, do a search on the HDD for the file?
