Where is the location that Workflow stores the MS Office Word documents when attached in a Workflow? The reason I am asking is that I understand you can replace and edit though if the original document is misplaced you would have to run the Workflow to retrieve it instead.

The master files for activities like Update Word Document and Fill/Read PDF Form are stored in the Workflow volume. You can replace those either at design time from the activity itself or through the WF Admin Console, under External Objects\Attachments. Workflow copied the file when you create an attachment, it doesn't just point to whatever location you imported it from.
I'm not sure what you mean by "you would have to run the Workflow to retrieve it instead".
They are not in a location that's easily accessible. The easiest way to fix this is to create a simple 2 line workflow that creates a new entry and then adds the electronic document. This will make a copy of the document for you that you can download and edit. Then after editing and saving that document to a windows location you can go back into your workflow and click the ellipse next to the name of the file, then click edit and you can replace it by uploading your edited copy. When you do so it also replaces it in any other workflows that use that same filename.
