Where do I find a missing file?

Question

Question 1:

I can save a document (i.e. word, excel, etc) and when I try to retrieve it, I get a message file not found. I know it's there because I just created it. I have resolved this by restoring my system back a few days. But, then it happen again a few days later

Question 2:

Might be related. When I go to print the doucment, by clicking on the print icon, it takes to save my documents.

To find a file you can click on the start button and go to “search”, and then select “all files and folders”, then enter in the name of the document, you can fill in either the document name. This will help you locate the document. You may be saving the document in a different directory or media than you had thought.

The message you are getting when you try to print your document sounds as if you have made some kind of change and not saved the document. Save the document and then try printing.
