Word stopped responding please god

[Hooligan]

First draft of my essay is due in 2 hours. Just spent 4 hours this morning writing it on my other computer. I went to get some taco bell came home and it had stopped responding, somehow. I overcame my rage to smash the computer and throw it out into the street. Is there ANY WAY I can recover it? sldkfjalksdflkjasklflkjasdjlkfsalkjasfdljkasfdljkaslkjfljkjsldf8ouwae9857@$(!(&@#$(&*!@($*8913523

If you close Word (Ctrl-Alt-Del, reboot computer, etc.), won't it ask if you want to recover your last work?

Did you get to recover your work?
The only solution I can think of is what GnuVince said.

Good luck!

If you are using word XP, I am not sure about 2000, but it shoudl ask you to recover. If not, the file will be saved in the temp folder with a weird file name...check by date......This reply is a little late I am sure but did you get to recover it?

but one question....you didn't save it before going out of the house? :sick:

Did you honestly not save the document anytime in the four hours you worked on it? Seems you'd know better using Windows.....
