Sounds like it may have been moved to a different place. Go to MyComputer, hold down Ctrl + F to get search up and select the Documents option. Type the name of the document into the box and hit search. It may take a little while it should find it.

I'd also check your recycling bin.

If you're running Windows 7 simply click on the start button and type in the filename in the search box. If the file is listed in your recent documents but doesn't open then there's a good chance it's been deleted.

if the file was saved to a memory stick/external hard drive then you will need this to access the file
