    Hi, I'm John!

    To help narrow down the issue:

    1. Did you save the document to OneDrive, iPad storage, or another location (like Google Drive or iCloud)?
    2. Were you signed in to your Microsoft account in Word when you created the file?
    3. Did the app close or crash before the document was saved?
    4. Are you able to see the document under Word > Home > Recent?

    On iPad, Word usually saves files to OneDrive by default, so I recommend checking your OneDrive account online as well. Sometimes the file may still be there even if it does not appear in the app.

    Also check this in Word:

    Open Word on your iPad. > Tap Home. > Look under Recent, Shared, and OneDrive.

    If the issue persists, please provide more details by answering my questions.
