File Locked and then Lost in Word
If using a Windows computer, go to File>Info>Manage Document>Recover Unsaved Documents and see if the file is there.

Doug_Robbins_Word_MVPI DID save it and know that it so because it had a unique file name I had used when saving it. Also, it appeared on the list of Recent files when I clicked on the RECENT tab to find it. I saw it on the list, but then when I clicked to select and open it, got the message that I didn't have access. I am the sole user of this computer and its administrator. I had done nothing relating to permissions, although I have had a few situations over time when this issue came up and thus lwas about to go in as administrator and unlock things, but as I say, when I went to find the file after getting the "You don't have permission" message, it was gone. I have searched every drive and flash drive connected to my computer as well as trash and did not locate it. I have an IMac and the Mac version of Office 360
