I have Word 2002. The problem occurred after saving and
using Alt+F4 for closing all my applications. When I
restarted Word the next session the Document Recovery task
pane offered two versions of the document. I clicked on
the most recent. I did not annotate in detail the behavior
of the computer since the recovery pane never lost my
stuff before so I only have a vague memory of the error
message saying something about not being able to eliminate
the document. Anyhow it didn't open and I couldn't find it
where it was last saved. I started working on a new blank
document which I realized after sometime Word had
automatically named with the name of the file that was
lost. I tried to undo all that I had typed in this new
document to see if Word had opened the file I was looking
for and perhaps cancelled the original text. I thought I
could maybe regain it by undoing the undesired canceling
but there was nothing there.
I tried the tricks in the Kb: "HOW TO: Recover a Lost File
in Word 2002" http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
