The file will be located in a folder somewhere in
C:\Users\(youraccount)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet
Files\

"\AppData" is normally hidden
"\Temporary Internet Files" is normally a hidden protected Operating System
file

You'll have to remove the checkmark (if they're hidden) in Windows Explorer:
Organize - Folder & Search Options - View

Good luck in finding it, though.

The correct way is to save the attachment first, then open it
from the saved location, if you wish to edit it.

Is it available using the file menu, top right, for the most recently accessed files.?

I should maybe mention I hav'n't used Word for donkey's years, but Works does that. !

Suggestion only :
Open MS Word > click the Office button > right side, under Recent Documents, do you see the doc you were editing ?
