i received a word document via an email attachment. I opened the document in
Word 2007 (compatibility mode) and began modifying it. Every few minutes I
clicked the Save icon (Not, the Save as... feature selection) My last act was
to click the save icon, and close file. I immediately realized that I hadn't
specified a file location for the save and tried to recover it, but no luck .
I returned to the email and reopened the original file to start the 4 hour
job over again, and it opened as "original file name" (2) so, my first
modified file must be located somewhere on this computer. Can anyone help
me??? Please...

Probably not.

You generally can't work on a document opened from an email; save it
to your hard drive first.

thanks for your support. let me just ask this, when the attachment was
opened, it generated the opening of Word. As I modified the document multiple
times over several hours, and clicked SAVE several time during this
period....why doesn't the doc save? Moreover, why doesn't a warning say the
document can't be saved to its current location? And, when I reopened the
attachment, why did it list the doc as (2)? The document must be somewhere on
the desktop, no???

See the responses to your identical question in another thread. I
imagine the part of Word that keeps track of the names of documents
that have been opened during your current session is different from
the part of Word that deals with saving them.
