Where has my Word document gone?

I worked all day long on a document. I saved it regularly. 12 hours and 20 pages later  I was finishing up by inserting Endnotes. Two blank fields appeared on the screen and would not go away. I saved the document and closed Word. When I re-opened the program, the random fields were gone, but the document was also gone. I tried searching  and spotlight. I tried AutoRecovery. I tried third party disc recovery. I tried everything I could learn about on the web. Is this a lost cause?

OK, just for kicks, download "EasyFind" (free from the Mac App Store) and use it to search for the document, using only a partial name of the doc (if it was "MyPersonalResume.docx" just try searching for, for example, "Resume".
It's a shot in the dark but EasyFind has helped me find many files that just seemed to be ignored by Spotlight.

  • Where has my pages document gone? I updated to Yosemite 3 days ago...

    Hi, I am writing on a  2013 Macbook Pro which I updated to the Yosemite operating system 4 days ago. I have just lost an essay using pages that I've worked on over the past two days (around 6 hours of work) I've searched trash and all files documents and can't find it. where has it gone? I found multiple versions of the piece when i wanted to email it to a tutor  and started to tidy up and now all of them have disappeared. Can anyone help? Thanks Margaret

    Thank you sir - in 6 minutes you have accomplished what Apple couldn't in almost as many weeks.
    Moral of the story: Renting movies on Apple TV 2 ***** and I shan't be doing it again.  It amazes me that Apple has launched a system that allows the GB tap to run freely with no regard to logic whatsoever.
    As you point out any future (if any) rentals will be made via iTunes, which I had imagined was more or less equivalent given Apple's usually harmonious relationship between various modes of doing essentially the same thing.  Not so in this case.  I've also rented directly from the iPad as well, which turned out to be a hassle until I discovered Airplay.
    Thanks again for your response - at least now I understand what happened.

  • Where oh where has my little document gone?

    Where did my saved document go? Is it on a cloud some where? How do I access my saved document? It is not on my computer.

    The saved document is wherever you put it on your system.  Default download locations differ from machine to machine.  If you couldn't find it on your system, you may just want to convert the file again.

  • Where has the preview panel gone is Bridge CS5?

    Today when I opened up Bridge, the preview panel on the right hand side has disappeared. It shows as being selected when I go to the Window Menu but it isn't there. The scroll bar is also missing so I can't view all of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any ideas about why this has happened and how I can return it to it's normal format? Thanks, Michelle.

    Fantastic. Thank you, much appreciated

  • Where has the visualizer button gone?

    where has the visualizer button gone in the bottom right corner?
    bit of a pain as i used it quite often

    iTunes 7 is pretty smart overall, nevertheless I have a few serious gripes with the interface. Firstly the little 'snowflake' icon on the bottom right that switches on the visuals has been replaced by the browse and burn icons. Was there a problem with the previous layout? My wife and I use that button everytime we turn on the visuals on our Mac Mini sound system in the living room. It was super convenient because you could move in a single mouse sweep from selecting a playlist to switching on visuals. With iTunes 7 you have to either select from the pop-down menu or switch to the keyboard and press cmd+T. It might not seem such a big deal to some but it's definitely a backwards step, no matter how small.
    The album art selector/display is very cool and niftily programmed however I'll never use it. The reason? Because if you fill it with album artwork, all those images are displayed over the visualiser at the start of each tune, which I HATE. I don't want sleeve designs ruining the beauty of G-Force which I paid good money to see. It's bad enough having the track info show when I already know what's playing! iTunes 7 is simply not configurable enough if you ask me, and hey, you shouldn't have to start configuring Fkeys to make up for the fundemental lack of choice in the program preferences.
    I have a pal who loves the gapless playback in the new iTunes 7 because it's great for mix cds. Well maybe that's the best playback feature of iTunes 7 but I'm afraid it doesn't make up for the loss of the visualiser button, so there!

  • Help! Where has all my storage gone? iPhone 4

    Hi,
    Ive recently had a replacement Iphone for the one that I had lost. My old phone had over 900 songs on it and about 70 apps and i still had around a gb free. Since ive had my new phone ive backed it up from Icloud and lost a lot of space. I only have 279 songs on it and 53 apps and i have no space left. Im confused. I have an 8gb Iphone 4 which runs version 5.1.1. Where has all my storage gone and how do i get it back.

    You should have 13 GB available after the iOS and the Apple Apps ...The rest is yours to fill.  If you connect to iTunes you will see a graphical representation of how your iPhone's storage is currently consumed.  Also you could Reset the phone and check the available space again. Hold Sleep / Wake button down and the Home key at the same time until the Apple logo appears, then release the buttons and wait until the Reset brings you back to the lock-screen.

  • Where has my search box gone in the appstore??

    Where has my search box gone in the appstore??

    Hello Nee,
    It may depend on your machine and OS / IOS?   Try to fill in your profile when you have a minute; it helps us understand your needs better.   I fill in the Q box at the point mende1 pointed out.

  • Why does a 128gb I-pad Air 2 only show 113gb in the capacity section of settings? Where has my other 15gb gone. Surely not on the OS. (It shows 111gb available which is the apps I have downloaded already)

    Why does a 128gb I-pad Air 2 only show 113gb in the capacity section of settings? Where has my other 15gb gone. Surely not on the OS. (It shows 111gb available which is the apps I have downloaded already)

    Along with what Skydiver119 has already told you, my 64GB iPad 3 only had 57GB of available storage out of the box, so if you keep doubling the amount of already used storage on the device as you go from 16 to 32 to 64 and then to 128GB - I assume that the figure that you see is correct. The iOS and preinstalled apps account for the storage that seems to be "missing" to you on your iPad.
    The amount that you see in Settings>General>About>Capacity is in fact, the available storage capacity for your iPad. You can't change it. It is whatever it says it is in that setting.

  • Where does the word document store?

    Hi Expert,
    Using webdynpro java to upload the file, where does the file actually store?
    I refer to below tutorial but have no ideal where the file is store. Please help.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71
    Thank you.

    Hi Henry,
      Once you reach the Action handler of the FileUpload UI Element your file has already been uploaded and is available in your context attribute. Now depending on the requirement you need to store the file.
    If you need to store the file in a shared location then you need to write the file to that location using normal java I/O.
    IWDResource resource = element.getMyResAttr();
    InputStream is = resource.read(true);
    try
    /* read bytes from stream and write it to file */
    finally
      try { is.close(); } catch (final IOException ex) {}
    If you need to store the file on the R/3 system then you need to call the function module/BAPI capable of doing so and pass the resource file to the function module. Some times you might need to convert the IWDResource file to a byte array. The code given above can be modified to do that. If there are no function modules or BAPI's capable of storing the Word Document available you will have to write one.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Regards,
    Sanyev

  • Where has the extensions exchange gone?

    Where has the link to the exchange gone? It used to be available on the adobe website, but it's disappeared now, or it's not very obvious anymore!
    Mat

    I wanted to let you know that Adobe is working on a brand new 'Adobe Exchange'. It's been written from the ground up and delivers a completely new user and producer experience that overcomes a lot of the issues we heard from existing users and producers of the current Adobe Exchange. We also just released a new tool called the Adobe Exchange Packager which makes it easy to package up your content for the new Exchange. We plan to have a release on Labs in July but if you sign up now you may have time to get your products on the new Exchange ready for the public release.
    You can learn about the new Exchange and some of the tools for creating the content and products for it on this Adobe blog:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/
    You can get the new  Packager and see the new Adobe Exchange by signing up for the prerelease at:

    We hope to see you on the prerelease!

  • Where has the music store gone?

    Hi there,
    I have just moved to South Africa with a new Touch so I've been a bit preoccupied recently. I have now realised that iTunes opens in the Apps Store and I can't find my way to the music store
    Where has it gone and is there a way I can change it back to opening there again?
    Many thanks,
    Russell

    Sigh.... This has been asked and answered here dozens of times. Music, movie and video content in the iTunes Store will come to other countries if and when Apple can work out all the multitude of licensing, copyright and royalty issues with all the various entities that hold the distribution rights in your country, along with any legal and infrastructure issues that might arise.
