Word 2007 attachments

[QB3S]

Opening a Word 2007 attachment direct from mail launches the application
allows you to make revisions and use the CTRL-S to save the revisions.
Problem is that the new file does not seem to exist anywhere on the hard
drive. Has anyone else had this problem? Does the file only exist in memory
until you actually do a SAVE As command and put it in a specific location? My
understanding was that it would always save in your documents folder.

Save the document from OE (File | Save Attachments) before trying to make
changes.

Attachments open a temporary file in the folder Temporary Internet Files.
You can't depend on a file continuing to exist there for any length of time.
Any attachment you want to edit should first be saved to an appropriate
folder like Documents, then open the saved document outside of
Windows Mail.
