Default recovering lost documents

If you never saved it, there's nothing to retrieve.

on before my computer lost power. i pressed no when the option to save them

If you have the AutoBackups turned on you might be able to use a data
recovery tool to "undelete" them. Maybe. Depends on a lot of info you
haven't given us and a fair bit of good luck.
