A new file that you are creating but haven't yet saved? Is auto-save turned on? Is it a document you're creating and you have already saved it? | |

| Dec 16, 2015 at 8:04 | comment | added | Hennes | Locate is the command you would use on OSX, a BSD ro a linux. It stores file locations in a database. Windows search (with indexing) the the windows variant of this. (You did not specify if you used word on OSX or word on windows, so I added both search options). | |

What is locate? Is MSWord really so bad in telling me the opened file location that the easiest way to know it to search through the whole disk or memorize the address on a sheet of paper?

Also to SU, we like nice and clear question. Best guess atm is that you are trying to find the on-disk file location for a word file which you already opened. Which is easy. Close word. locate it (or search in windows) or dozens of other solutions. Or first save it in a known place so you know you can find it back.
