It depends on *how* you lost the file. If the document was never saved, you
are out of luck, because there is nothing to recover.

On the other hand, if Word crashed, you should be able to find an
autorecovery file. Or, if you enabled the option to create backups, you
should be able to use the backup copy. Note that neither of these methods
will restore the file exactly to the state it was when you lost it; some
retyping will be required.

For more (including an improvement of the backup feature of Word), see
