Any way to retrieve an unsaved MS Word file from oblivion? Please...

In closing a document I was working on, I accidently clicked "Do Not Save Changes". The "changes" were of course several hours of work. Is there any way to get that back or should I just start over again?

Not without spending some cash. A temp file is created in newer versions of Word while the file is open. But when you close the file, the temp file is deleted and I think it unrecoverable.

However this is a link describing what I was talking about, and it's your best shot. Just hope something is in that directory.
