How do I recover a missing document?

[Guest]

I had a word document on my email. I opened and downloaded the document. I
continued working on it, saving it several times. Today, when I went to open
the document it was gone. What can I do?

You did a Save instead of a Save As and change the location, didn't you?

yes. Is there anything I can do?

I'd be willing to bet that you'll remember this for a long while if you
can't save your file. When you open that attachment, it's just a temp file.
You MUST remember to save it before editing it.

There are no guarantees but you can try the following:
