if you closed it without saving it its gone...better get started on a new one.  if the program froze up and closed on its own you may be able to retreive it by starting the program again (it may just retreive it on its own) or you can look in the recent documents menu and try to open it from there.

Word will periodically back up the data file you're working on.  If it did make a backup then next time you go into Word it will notify you of that backup copy and allow you to recover it.  If it didn't then the file is gone.\n\nIf your pc is shutting down like that you probably got viruses.  You need to get rid of them to keep it from shutting down.

About the only way would be to use a data recovery program.\n\nPC Inspector Smart Recovery is free and very good at recovering files. \n\nYou can get it here - http://www.download.com/PC-Inspector-Smart-Recovery/3000-2242_4-10261986.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nI believe it will do the job for you.

You can get your lost code. Contact local Microsoft office.

There are software programs out there that you can download that you can use to try and retrieve some files.  Alternatively, you could send your hard drive to a lab to see what they can retrieve, but that would run $3000 or so.  If something happens where you can't shut down, then just pull the plug.  If this happens, then do not use the computer.  The more you use the computer, the less likely you are to be able to retrieve documents.  Use spyware software to remove programs like that when you see then.  Keep your windows updated to prevent them from being loaded in the first place. windowsupdate.microsoft.com

You might want to see if you can grab the templates from within your Word program, if you still have the trial dowloaded of office 03 then you should be able to go to your\nc:&#92;program files&#92;Microsoft Office&#92;templates&#92;1033 and open them the back way.

It could be there if you haven't used the computer much after formatting.  Less chance of being overwritten.\n\nYou will probably need an expert to retrieve it.

Search for "Word" in the search engine. Click on "start" in the bottom left corner, run "search", click "Files and Folders", and type "Word" in the search bar.\n\nIf it is not there, it may have been deleted, you can pick it up at Office Depot.

Open Office can open both file types you named, and is free. I have never tried to save in a format other than .doc, but it might save in .wp9 if you ask real nice.

Check in your Autorecovery area for a file with the most recent time/date stamp.\n\nYou will have to set your My Computer/Explorer options to View Details.  Show hidden Files and Folders.  Also uncheck Hide System files.\n\nAfter you have made the View changes, you may also need to do a complete search of the whole C: drive for files ending in *.tmp .\nThis will give you back 100's if not 1000's of files.\nHere is what you are looking for:\nOrganize the search results by Time.\nLook at the files that are closest to the last time you used the file.\nThe files that may contain something of your doc will look something like this " ~WRL9823A87F.tmp " .\nIt is the ~WR files that denote it belongs to Word in some way.\n\nGood luck.

No, once the file itself is deleted you can not get it back by clicking on a 'list' of files. That is what your history is, a list of places, things.

It is is not stored in a readable form on the computer. Have you tried a repair. If word still works, the key should be stored and i would not expect the installation to ask for key. Otherwise, if this is a legitimate install Microsoft can help. Here is a microsoft link for lost product keys. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011508341033.aspx
