File saved without clicking save as (so as a temp file?) now its GONE! help!?

Hi,

Ok, if you're positive you've saved it in the first place, it should be somewhere in your hard disk, however usually when you save a file in your case word you would get prompted with the location in which you'll need to save the file.

I presume you're on windows 7, in that case go to start (far left bottom corner), in the search Programs and files type in the name of your file, you'll be presented with all files with that name that located in your hard disk.

Note: even if you opened the file again through your email and saved it again, the change would not overwrite your previous work unless you save it under the same name, in this case windows would warn you that a file with the same name actually exist and ask you if you want to replace it or migrate changes etc.

Thus, if you really saved your word doc the first time and didn't replace it the second time, the file should be there.

Gd Luck!
