Hi, Alternatively, go to the Finder, press cmd-f to bring up the Find window. In the resulting search field, enter the name of the document you wish to find. Press cmd-2 to ensure that you’re in List view then navigate to the Scroll area where the List view table is. Interact with the table and find the document you desire.
Now, you’ve got two methods you can use to find its location. First, just press cmd-i to GetInfo on the document and there will be an item there that says where the file is currently located. I believe that the title in front says “Where”. For the second method, stop interacting with the table and the Scroll area, then navigate right to the “Path List”. Interact with this and the path to the document is outlined right there. HTH.
