If you know the name of the file and/or any of its content, the search
facilities in Windows Explorer will find it, if it is still stored on your
machine.

As Graham mentioned, you can also use Windows Explorer to search for ALL
Word documents (type "*.doc" in the "Named" text box). If you have an idea
of the date, you can also use the "Date" feature to narrow the search to a
specific day or date range. I would assume the Works 6.0 extension is "wps"
so if you don't find the Word document using "*.doc", try using "*.wps".

Good Luck & Happy New Years!
