Admittedly I know little about computers, so please bear with me...

Recently I have been having a problem when trying to attached saved Word documents to my outgoing Outlook emails. I can see the file in my Recent Documents, but when I pull up a new email, click on the paperclip to attach, and go to My Documents, and the appropriate folder I saved the file in, it is not there.

I have taken to sending the file right in Word under the: <Send, then <Email options... however, this does not help me solve the problem of how to find the file later in Word. It is still missing when I go in through My Documents to find it later.

I have never dealt with anything like this before, and have been using Word for years. Not sure if I am doing something wrong when saving?

I hope this question makes sense. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
