Default word did not recover my docment i have lost work

is there any way in which i can recover my file with my
saved work on it?


If it was indeed saved, yes. It should be where you saved it. If you
double-clicked to open an email attachment for editing, then it would have
been saved to a temporary location. Set Windows Explorer to display hidden
files/folder, then search for the file from the root folder (e.g., C:\).

If you were editing a file and didn't save it yourself, then the file would
have been saved [in some form] only if backups were enabled, or if Word
crashed and AutoRecovery were enabled. In the former case, look for files
named Backup of*.wbk.

In the latter case, Word should have detected an .asd file the next time
Word started. You can search for this file manually; it would be in the
folder specificed in Tools - Options - Files Locations - AutoRecover files
(in Word 2007, Office button - Word Options - Save tab - AutoRecover file
location.
