You are in the wrong newsgroup for this question. You really need to
find a newsgroup dealing with the particular operating system you are using.
However, given the apparent importance of it, you should look in the
recycle bin in the first instance if it simply was deleted (depending on
how it came to be deleted).
Secondly, you probably should not open Word because it may have timed
autosaving turned on which could overwrite the contents if you are not
craeful. If you must open open Word, try to make a copy of the document
first (click on it then <CTRL-C> followed by <CTRL-V>. If you do that
and Word opens, the document may appear in the most recently used file
list (at the bottom of the File menu). Similarly, does the document
appear in the documents list which is accessible from the Start menu.
There are tools that you can use for more sophisticated recovery and
undeletion requirements but you may wish to take your computer to an
expert to avoid exacerbating the problem.
Finally learn from it. You don't have a back-up? What was your plan if
your computer broke (as it surely will one day) or got stolen?
