1: download a linux live cd, any distribution will do so pick ubuntu which everyone knows2: tell it to mount the windows drive if it hasn't done so automatically. it should have done. if it didn't, download a distribution that doesn't suck so much shit, unless you know how to mount drives yourself. (it'd be something like 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows' or something like that. don't go onto the distribution's help forums to ask for help because you'll only be condescended to by neck-bearded losers)
3: go and open the word file using the utter-shit openoffice or koffice or whatever piece of badly-coded bloated wank is on your linux distribution
4: if it doesn't open it's dead and gone
5: if it does open, save it again. you'll lose a ton of formatting because openoffice, koffice and the ilk are shit. but you'll keep the text.

yeah i saw your reply after typing all thisthat seriously sucks
there might be a temporary file dumped somewhere perhaps? word always used to do that. either in a temp directory (one of the ten or so that windows now uses) or as a hidden file in the original directory?

It just found an autosave of Document1... that was the default name of the file before I saved it properly.

My guess isyes he's found it, but now he's re-read it and it's not as good at he thought it was.

I have this feeling there's a temp version hidden away on your system somewhere.I think it's worth searching your entire system for "temp". Make sure you include system files and obviously all subfolders.
Take a look at the results locations. Anything relating to user data or application data which was created or modified very recently is worth looking at.
Yeah in fact it's probably quicker searching for all files created in the last few hours. Again, don't forget to include system files.
