| | Windows Mail I hope someone can help but I have tried everything I can think of..i went to my storage folder, I did a document search under the subject title of the mail and the document title. Okay, I sent a document to a friend and asked her to make some changes or suggestions; she sent it back to me with suggestions and I added them - forgetting that I opened the document from windows mail, i made my changes and clicked save but I, for the life of me, have no idea where it saved. I have the original document but not the document with the changes made. I remember the prompt,"Save changes made to document" and I clicked "yes" so I am pretty sure it had to be saved somewhere - it's not in the "file destination for windows mail. |

| | Re: Windows Mail As has been advised here many times, *never* edit a document by opening it from an email attachment. Always save the attachment first, then open that saved file outside of Windows Mail. The attachment you edited may be somewhere in the directory "Temporary Internet Files". -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Brohdaw" <Brohdaw@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:89AA45F3-060B-4DD4-B06E-B3AC1B3719B6@xxxxxx Quote: >I hope someone can help but I have tried everything I can think of..i went to > my storage folder, I did a document search under the subject title of the > mail and the document title. > Okay, I sent a document to a friend and asked her to make some changes or > suggestions; she sent it back to me with suggestions and I added them - > forgetting that I opened the document from windows mail, i made my changes > and clicked save but I, for the life of me, have no idea where it saved.
