Default how to recover my work before the last save

If you had *already* enabled the "Always create backup copy" option (Tools |
Options | Save), then the previous version will be found as "Backup of
filename.wbk" in the same folder with your document (you'll need to set
"Files of type" to "All Files" to see it). If not, then there may be little
hope unless you have previous backups (which surely you made of something so
important).

What you doubtless did was inadvertently select the entire document and
overwrite it with a single character or space. You should either have
immediately pressed Ctrl+Z (Undo) or closed the file without saving the
changes.
