There is no autosave function in Word. If your wife didn't manually save the
document it has not been saved. See
http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm.
You have not explained your wife's filing system, but it is possible that
there are two versions of her document kicking around. A search of the hard
drive would be advisable.
My guess is that the document hasn't been saved and that something went
wrong with the e-mailing process. Check if there is an attachment to the
outgoing message that contains the document.
