Sunima ji,
That's very annoying. In order to prevent from going through the same hassle again, please turn on Autorecovery in Microsoft Word.
To do this go to Tools > Options > Save > 'Save Autorecovery info every'. Choose to save your file every five minutes or less.

Sunima, you said document was not autosaved. If your autosave option is enabled in word, you may be able to recover it or at least some part of it.

Open the Tools menu. Click Options. Click the File Locations tab. If the space next to AutoRecover files is blank, then your data is lost. If there is a location, go to that location and open the document (if there is any).

there is something like C..\ application data..\microsoft ...
this is all i can see next to autorecovery and cannot open the link

i am trying

thanks alot

1) Search for WordBackup files. They are files with the .wbk extension.

2) Search for AutoRecover files. They are files with .asd extension. The quickest way to do this is to find the folder where Word stores these files. Open Word then Tools>Options>Click the File Locations tab, double-click AutoRecover files, and write down the path. Close Word and open that folder in Windows Explorer.

3) Search for the files with .tmp extension.

4) Search for "~" Files.

When you use Window's search function use *.WBK, *.ASD , *.TMP and ~*.* respectively. On the View menu, click Details and then sort by Date. Scroll through the files for documents that match the last date that you edited the document.

Good luck

You are welcome..

You might need to open the recovery file yourself When the AutoRecover feature is turned on, Word typically opens recovery files when you restart Word after a power failure or similar problem. If for some reason Word did not open the recovery file, you can open it. By default, the recovery file is located in the Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word folder. If you changed the location for recovery files, check the new location on the File Locations tab (Tools menu, Options command).

Word might not have created the recovery file yet By default, the recovery file is created 10 minutes after you open the document. If Word or your computer stops responding before the recovery file is created, you cannot automatically recover your changes. To have AutoRecover save your changes more frequently, you can change the interval at which the recovery file is saved.

You might have closed the recovery file without saving it When you close a recovery file without saving it, the recovery file is deleted. There is no way to recover unsaved changes after the recovery file has been closed.
