I am not sure this ever happened to you, but it did happen to me more than once.

When I was using a PC laptop, I sometimes forgot to save an email attachment (a Word file) into a specific folder. I went on to edit it, and quit when I finished editing, and then could not find the file. Eventually, I figured out how to locate the "lost file."

Now, I am a Mac user, and I lost a file this morning (when my client told me that I attached a wrong file, not the edited file that I worked so hard last night). I looked and looked, and I could not find it. It was not on my backup disk, and it was NOT under "All My files."

Oh, well, there was no point crying over spilled milk. So, I emailed my client, and said I would re-edit the paper for her.

Then, I noticed something on the left column of Word Document Gallery. In the lower part of the column, it collects "Recent Documents." Yeah! After some checking, I found my lost file (which saves me at least three hours of re-editing).

Now, I will go to yoga class and recharge my body and soul!
