I opened up an email with a word ducument. I proceeded to type for 2 hours
into the word document. When I was done I X out and hit yes to save. When I
open the e-mail back up what I typed for 2 hours is gone. Is there anyway to
retrieve what I typed in? Please help me I do not want to have to type again!!

You can't save to an attachment. It's somewhere on your hard drive. Try
My Documents for starters or search for the file.

I tried that and it is nowhere to be found

Hi Tony,

You might try duplicating the same procedure, open up the email with word
document, type a few words, X out and hit yes to save. Does it provide info
as to where it will be saved? Does it ask to overwrite a existing file? If
the latter is true, then suspect your lost file is somewhere on your hard
drive.

You have learned an expensive lesson.
If you want to alter an attachment, save the attachment to the hard drive
and alter the saved attachment.
You should save your document as you work.
OE puts opened attachments in Temporary Internet Files.
