If you have the option to save autorecover information set then when you
re-open Word it should be recovered, but as this function is a bit hit and
miss, especially on older Word versions, it may not be. If the document is
not saved there is nothing to recover.
You *may* find scraps of the document in temporary hidden files in the
document folder, but again don't rely on getting anything useful from this
route.

[Recover My Photos]

Download the demo from www.recovermyfiles.com. Run a "complete search" just
for word documents. You can also add your C: folder to the search just to
check if there are any temp files that contain your document.
