Hi Arohatoa,

There is very little likelihood of being able to recover the file in this case. However, you might be able to find a *.tmp file on
the USB stick with something recoverable in it. If you find any, change the extension to .doc an try opening the file with Word.

Also, it is Extremely unwise to work with any type of removable media.
Always work on the local HDD and copy to/from the removable media. These
newsgroups are full of users who have corrupted or lost document through
working on REM media and not just because they pull their USB stick too
quickly.

It is the number 1 way to lose your hard work.
