It saved it into which ever directory it was pointing at when you hit the save. Your problem is that you have forgotten where that was. Click on START, SEARCH, FOR FILES, and fill in the name of the paper (and maybe click on the box that says "Written within the last week" to speed it up). That will let the computer find it for you.
Next time you want to save something for the first time, click on SAVE AS and it will show you where it is going to put the saved file.

Depending on how big the report was it could be anywere on the c: drive try looking for it by the title you gave it or the title of the document on the screen when you saved it.
the thing is the computer findes a space somewere ,anywere on C: drive that is the same size as the document like if you pack the boot (trunk) of the car to go on holiday and then say where is my overnight bag? answer it's in the boot (C: drive) but the computer will find it for you if you tell it the name of the document like saying find me the (snoopy overnight bag) hope this helps.

search for the name of the document.
steps:
-go to the start menu
-click search
-type in the document's name
-it will search
it should come up and you will notice that you saved it in a folder that you didn't want to save it. always double-check its the folder you wanted it in
