I am an XP user. I have had it a whle. A couple weeks ago I noticed (my chance) that a file I saved wasn't in the folder I saved it in. I hit refresh. Still not there. I went to Recent Documents and the document was there. I pulled it up from Recent Documents. I hit save as to see where it was origninally saved. It showed the folder I had put it in. I saved the file again for good measure. Closed out, checked the folder. Not there. Repeated the process. Copied the file to desktop. Copied it from desktop to the folder. Now it shows up.

I haven't got a clue where to start on this one.
 
Am having same problem myself. Entire folders and chunks of files have disappeared from My Documents. I can only get to them through Documents & Settings/Owner/Application Data/Microsoft/Office/Recent or Owner/My Recent Documents. Will see if copying to the desktop first will help. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
