It's wherever you put it. Whenever you save something, you either have to
specify where you want to put it, or pay attention to where it's being saved
by default. For example, if you want to save an attachment (from Windows
Mail) in your Documents folder, you first have to click paper clip icon and
choose Save Attachments. Then you have to use the Browse button to say where
you want to save it (your Documents folder in this case).

It works that way with all saves. Where you save a file is entirely up to
you. But if you don't pay any attention to where you're saving an item,
you're going to be hard pressed to find it later.

Try the change and save procedure again, and see what the default folder for
Save As is. Unless you selected a different folder during the save, that's
where the original will be.

If you can identify the folder where it is (for instance, you can see it in
the Save As dialogue) but you can't find it in that folder, the easiest
procedure is to get back to the same Save As dialogue but before saving
anything select the original file in the dialogue window and choose Copy.
Then Paste it to somewhere where you know it will be accessible, such as the
desktop.
