Have created and saved a number of spreadsheets. The named sheets do not appear in the destination directory. However, they appear in the list of recent documents when I open the software, and they are brought up when I click on an entry. However, when I Explore that directory, there is no named document listed. I cannot Insert any of those documents to an email (in Outlook), because the name doesn't appear in the directory list. However, I can Send the document when in Excel and the document is open.
Have used this version of Office for quite some time; first encounter with this problem. The filename lengths don't appear to be the problem.


Any ideas why the list doesn't show the filenames and how to get them in there?

I suggest you open one of those files, choose File|SaveAs and make sure the files really are being saved to where you think they are - your description suggests otherwise.

Did that. They do not appear in the directory used for Save As.
I searched for the filename(s), but nothing.
However, as I stated, they are in the MS Excel list of Recent Documents when I select the Office button.

If you can open them, the file path shown in the Save As dialogue points to where they are stored.
