Sometimes AutoComplete (or somesuch feature) will keep stuff for you. Just hammer the back button until you either find it or your tears short out the keyboard

What Tchocky said. Check if Word hasn't already made some backup copy, the index for such a document would be .bck, or something like that (anybody correct me if i'm giving the wrong index, i am not sure).

Check the Temp folder!

A painfull experience that most of us can empathize with to be sure... It definitely falls into the "that sucks" category

.

I had a customer bring me her computer one day because she couldn't get to a document she had been working on for a few months. No backup or hard copys either. Total hard drive crash. The document she had lost? Her doctorate thesis

. We sent the drive to Drive Savers and for $1600 she was able to get about half of it back--in fragments. She was happy to get what she did though.

She now backs up her work a little more zealously.
