I emailed a document to my pb clicked save as but have no idea where it is and if I try to save and open it says it already exists. I've looked in docs to go and file manager
Please help as getting slightly frustrated with it
If you saved it from an email attachment, then it's probably in your downloads folder
on my PlayBook:
the usual document repository is - playbook:/accounts/1000/shared/documents
the downloads folder is - playbook:/accounts/1000/shared/downloads
Unfortunately the native File Manager is rubbish- so it is very difficult to find your downloaded documents
The best PB app purchase I have ever made is "Files and Folders" by Innovatology - this will enable you to see all your PlayBook folders, and open whichever document you need to (it also allows you to see your BB Folders over Bridge, and has support for cloud services such as SugarSync/DropBox/Box - which I think is pretty neat).
The app cost me �2 or �3 - and I always recommend it as a mandatory purchase, for anybody I am helping with setting up their new PlayBook
Hope this helps

Did you save it as an xls? If it was saved with an xlc docs to go doesnt support it. On bbos you'll get a message file not supported. I dont know if docs to go on PB even sees the file if it has an unsupported extention. If you used msoffice 08 or later when you save use "save as" and select xls from prompt.
Download "Air Browser" (free) from app world. Open Air and on the left hand side of the screen you'll see "Downloads". Tap on that and you should see your document. Tap on the document and a menu will pop up. If your PB can open the doc, one of the menu options will be "open".
I'm afraid I'm not very techy but it says xlr at the end of it.
A couple of you mentioned the download folder where will I find that?
Xlr isnt supported. Xls and xlsx is. What you'll have to do is open your file on your pc hit your f12 and in the "save as" menu save as .xls. Then resend.
