Karen--
ME is the name of a Windows OS. Word is a component of the Application
Microsoft Office. To tell your version of Word, look at the first window
when it opens up, or Help About or the CD.
I would show all files and folders including hidden ones and search because
often when someone says they lost a file or deleted it, it may show up.
There is undelete software that would find your file. Norton System Works
has an "unerase wizard"

Exec Software has Undelete 3.0 for $30.
Both would probably recover your file.
