Location of a Microsoft Office Document Imaging File
Microsoft Office Document Imaging files can be saved as a Tagged Image File Format file (.TIFF) or a Microsoft Document Imaging file (.MDI). By default, these files will be saved to your "Documents" folder, but you have the option to save the files in a different location. If you change the location where the documents are saved and then are unable to locate the files at a later date, you can search your computer using wildcards to locate the documents.
