2 hours ago I began writing an article without a title and I had a page written when, for some reason, saved the document. After that, the document can't be found anywhere neither on 'recent' or using a command line suggested by gemini AI. I have the microsoft AI not on because I don't use it . Now, how can i find my doc? For years I am using word and thi snever happened to me before . I am using windows 10 but also have a computer with windows 11 that i don't like much but can use if neeed. thanks

By default, the filename Word will assign to a document is the first few words of the text--up to the first punctuation mark. If you can remember those words, it might help you search, but Windows Search can also search for any unique text anywhere in the document. Keep in mind that the document would be saved in the folder designated as the default Documents folder for Word (or whatever folder you most recently saved to in a given Word session). If you are using OneDrive, you should search there.
