I normally save my documents by classifying them and then adding a date. I
must have incorrectly typed the date of the document I'm now attempting to
retrieve. I do remember specific names within the document itself. Can I find
the saved document by content?

Open My Computer, Search. search for something like this: *.doc with a
short phrase that you can remember it the "Containing text" box.

Good Luck
 
You can use Windows Search to search for files by date or by (limited)
content.

In Windows, Press Start > Search and follow instructions.
 
Searching your entire HD for text is time-consuming. If you know what folder
the document is likely in (My Documents for a start), it helps to navigate
to that folder first in Windows Explorer. To open Windows Explorer,
right-click on the Start button and choose Explore or press the Windows Key
+ E. When you have the right folder open, click Search on the toolbar.
