Saved a file in Word Writer, restarted Mac and file no longer exists.

Hi guys!

I saved a Word Writer doc as Word 97' doc. Then I restarted my computer and the file no longer exists. I tried to search for the file but I can't find it anywhere... Tried to recover it but no topic about Word Writer only Microsoft Word.

Please, can somebody help me!!!


Thank you!

What Mac model/year?


What Mac OS version?


Do you have Microsoft anything installed?


So the question is: do you have any app installed that is compatible with word writer and/or word 97? You must have a software that can open/read the document. FWIW, it is most likely lost as any software from 1997 is woefully out of date - this is 2018.
