i cant find word documents on my external drive

While in work, I use windows and write documents in Word. I save them on my external drive. Once I open the drive on my Mac, suddenly there aren't all of the documents there. Like, I saved 100 .doc or .docx files but Mac shows me just 70 or 80 of them. I have original Office for Mac and tried tuxedo but its not working.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

As a test can you rename that one test.rtf ?


II saved a file called dopĺňací rozsudok - zamietnutie časti nároku prevyšujúceho priznaný výživné na plnoleté dieťa.rtf to my Documents, it cannot be found in the Finder, Terminal, or with Find Any File!???


Text Edit will load it from File>Open Recent.


Tying to view it in Terminal gives me...
