working with E-mail Attachments

I am a very experienced user who practices "safe hex" and who has
proper software protection - I even PAY for my a/v protection (Avira)
- but I will not go so far as to get paranoid about opening a .DOC
file, or even a .JPG just because there is a POSSIBILITY that it might
contain a worm.

That's fine with me. You are entitled to practice whatever security
rules you want. You are willing to run risks that I am not willing to
run. My experience is that almost never is it necessary that I need to
open to open a .doc attachment that is sent to me. My standard
practice is to ask the sender to resend the text embedded in the body
of the E-mail message. Almost always I get what I request and that's
just fine.

As I previously said, quoted above "My view is very conservative."

Hi,

I received an e-mail with a Word attachment. I opened it and worked on it,
then saved it. Where is it?

It's exactly where you told or allowed Word to save it.
I realise that i should have done a 'saved as' then renamed it and saved
where I knew where it was, but i did not, I just pressed save and now I
cannot find it.

What happens when you open Word and re-select that document from the
MRU (Most Recently Used) list?

I did alot of work on it and could do with finding it or repeat several
hours of work.

Your help would be greatfully appreciated.

What happens when you do a search for the document?
