If I understand this you can no longer locate your files. This could be several things. Do you use an external drive to save your documents on? These can sometimes change drive letter and can confuse shortcuts and file locations. Hopefully you do not have a corrupted disc. Make sure that in future you regularly back up important files to avoid this hassle but we have probably all been where you are now. Lessons are learnt hard.
I suggest that you try the following 3 steps. 1. Try to locate your files through recent documents in either start menu or at the end of the file menu in Word. If this works use save as to tab around the dialogue box to see where the file is located. 2. If this does not work press windows key plus E to open Explorer. Cursor up once to My Documents - Press tab and investigate what files are in My Documents and see if you can locate the files you need. 3. If this does not work use a wild card search the search on the start menu. Type *.doc as your search string and all the word Documents on your computer should be found. Type *.dot for the template files.

The problem gets worse. When I tried to open any of my document files from my document folder it told me that they could not be found because the address was wrong. I even tried to get to one of them through a short on my desk top with the same results. I have several reports due Tuesday and really need some help. Any help would be great. Thanks.
