If Word doesn't present the lost file as a "Recovered" document the next
time you start, then there's not much chance of recovering it.

While working on a word document, the program froze and I was unable to
save
the work before I closed the program. In the past, long forgotten lost
work
suddenly appeared with another opened docuement as a "reovered file." How
do
I intentionally recover an interrupted work?
