Lost Word document

[hazelleonard]

Hello
Please can somebody help. I have been working on a word document which was email to me by a colleague. I have spent 2 hours working on it, but foolishly didn't click on "save as" when I had finished. I clicked on "save" and now the document has completely disappeared! I have tried all the usual "search" tools, but I have no idea where to look next. I am a bit of a technophobe, but I am using Word 2010 on windows 7

Please help - in simple terms that I can follow

Thank you

Let's start by trying something simple...

Have you looked at RECENT DOCUMENTS?

Have you tryed to search (using Windows search) ALL word documents (by this I mean typing the word document EXTENSION only) through last 24 or 48 hours?
