Wordpad saves files with a different extension than Word.  Could you by any 
chance have 2 files with the same name & different extensions?

Hello Harry,

In order to help you, we need more information.  Did you save your Word Pad 
document before you looked for the information you added?  Could you have 
created another file and saved the information there?  What I would do is 
use Cortana to search for the key words you were looking for.  In Windows 10 
press the Windows key and then type your search term and press enter. 
Unfortunately, you might get Internet results too, but maybe the first 
results on the list will be files or e-mails on your computer which contain 
the key words you are looking for.

I hope this helps.

Dan
