Unless you have backups enabled, or are using Word's Versions feature, the
version you're accessing would be the *only* version available. Check
Tools - Options - Save tab, and see if Always Create Backup Copy is enabled.
If it is, then look for files named "Backup of {original file name}.wbk". It
would be in the same folder as the original file.

I can find the document but some of it is missing so I wanted to get the
last
version that was saved as somehow the file was corupted.

If the file was recently edited by Word, choose File from Word's menu and
see if it's listed at the bottom of the menu.

Alternatively, from the Windows task bar, choose Start - Documents (or My
Documents), and see if it's listed there. If you find it, double-click to
open it.

specifying part of the text that it contained will help you find it.
