617944 2007-12-04 19:38:00 If I open an email attachment such as a Word doc, make changes to it without saving it anywhere else, close it and when prompted to save say Yes, is it correct that it saves the changes into a temp file that it creates when the doc was opened? And if so, how can I then retrieve the document with those changes in it from that temp file?

This article www.groovypost.com has given me good details about how to find the folder where the temp files are but I can't seem to locate the folder that the temp files are supposed to be in? I've searched the C drive for OLK and temp and have come up with nothing that looks right (and yes I'm viewing/searching hidden files & folders).

Am using Office 2007 on Windows XP Prof.

Anyone out there who can help?

617945 2007-12-04 19:56:00 If I do that on my machine, after clicking Yes to Save the file, it then asks where I want to save it to just as if it was a new word document or if I had used Save As...

It doesn't just save it to the temp file....

617947 2007-12-04 22:41:00 Thanks guys - yes I always save before making amendments and tell the users to as well but this particular user didn't (sorry should have made it clearer that it wasn't me!). susann (12077)
