# yeah i saw your reply after typing all this
that 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?

# 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.
