Please help! I typed a paper and clicked file then save. I closed down my computer and just went back to open the document again and it is gone. Can I retrieve it anyway? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am obviously a new mac user and this was my first paper to type on here. Thanks in advance for any help I receive.

Pull up Spotlight and type a word or two that you know would be unique or close-to-unique for that paper.

That didn't work. It just pulled up the webpages that I used to do the research. Wouldn't it have prompted me to save the document before I closed the application if I didn't save it correctly the first time?

Open TextEdit and under "File" select "Open Recent" and see if it's there in the list of rececently open documents.

Otherwise, download EasyFind, which allows you to search your entire computer, unlike Spotlight. You should be ablle to find it with that - it's freeware btw!
