I mistakenly did not save a document i was working on when
i closed out MSWord. I had not previously saved it, but I
did have the backup selection checked in options. I can't
seem to find it. I have done all the searches I can think
of. Where would it be stored? Is it really gone for good?
Any suggestions?

If you never saved the document, there will be no backup file. You have to
save *twice* before you get a .wbk file. See
