Default Recover Deleted Text

Not once you close the document. If you have Word configured to save
backups, then the backup should contain the previously saved content. The
chances of recovering anything from temporary files and old saved and
deleted data is slim and could prove very expensive. This should serve as a
wake-up call about the importance of backing up your data.

customer data, would it even be possible to recover it with by
examining the hard disk with some sort of data reading device?
