Word 2007 Learning Curve
in [Beginners]

From: DDE on 31 Jan 2010 22:07 I have a problem when I save a word file that I have downloaded off of the internet site where I do online teaching. If I click save as, I then choose the location in my computer. And it works fine. If I download the file, and then click save, and then edit the file, and then click save, and then close the file, it disappears. I can not find it anywhere in my computer. The search option in my startup menu will not find it. Where is it? How do I get to it? Help, please. -- DDE "JMB" wrote: > I'll make an honest attempt to give this question/feedback a positive twist. > I have been using Word/Excel etc. for years now and consider myself somewhat > of an expert user.

From: Ben on 31 Jan 2010 22:34 You may have opened the Word file directly from your browser without saving it first to a folder. The browser will download the file to a temporary internet directly to open it and that is where it gets saved when you don't use "save as". You need to either right click the link and save it to a specific folder or once in the word document do a "save as" to specify to save it somewhere other than the temporary internet folder that your browser has placed it. If you do a save as from MS Word from within the document, you can also usually determine where the temporary folder is located.

You need to either right click the link I meant to say that the browser will download the file to a temporary internet *directory* (i.e. folder). The word "directly" was a typo. Regards, Ben
From: Graham Mayor on 1 Feb 2010 01:38 When you open a document from an e-mail attachment it opens as a temporary file. You make and save your changes to that temporary file and when you close Word the temporary file is gone - so don't do it!

From: Terry Farrell on 1 Feb 2010 04:39 If you don't use SaveAs and choose a location, the file will be in the Temporary Internet Files - and usually there are many thousands of these on a busy computer. Nor are they indexed, so finding them using Search is tricky too. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "DDE" <DDE(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5897635B-25BD-438D-8450-66B4EC000354(a)microsoft.com... > I have a problem when I save a word file that I have downloaded off of the > internet site where I do online teaching.
