Hi John,
If you hadn't previously saved it and Word closed
normally (i.e. didn't crash) then the temp files
that stored the in process file would have been deleted.
=====
when exiting a word document, i hit no to save rather than
yes. is there any way to recover my document? >>

I hope this helps you,
Bob Buckland ?
