Default document retrieval

Unfortunately, if you didn't save it, it's gone. This is why we constantly
advise users to save early and often and never leave an unsaved document
open when leaving the computer. As Graham says, it's also wise, if you have
a choice, not to let Automatic Updates run in full automatic mode.

I amended documents in Word and did not save. The anti virus restarted the
computer to enable updates. The documents returned to their original form.
How do I retreive the amended documents ?
