Unfortunately you don't provide anywhere near the amount of information
necessary for anyone to offer anything more than a wild guess at what may
have happened. If you want a reply that may be useful you'll need to supply
some details, such as;
Which version of Word?
Which version of Windows?
Where the file is stored - HD, floppy, USB, email attachment?
Did you create it on that system or bring it from another (if so, how?)?
What method are you using to Save?
What - exactly - did happen when you attempted to save?
Especially if you've closed the file & quit Word the likelihood of
recovering anything that wasn't saved is quite remote, but at least
sufficient details may help you find out what happened so you can better
avoid such a problem in the future.
BTW - You might want to consider saving your work more frequently than 'once
or twice' during a period of "hours"
Most people I know save after every
*paragraph* or significant change... Keying Control+S is a very easy habit
to develop

I had to revise a school paper. I spent hours redoing in word and twice it
did not save. What's going on and is there any hope of recovering the text?
