If the text is still there, when you close word, word will ask you if you want to save it before closing.


But i know nowt so dont take that as gospel

I'd say probably not but there's a slight chance, if you open the Word document in Notepad, that some remnants of your text may be in there

Notepad - Start/All Programs/Accesories/Notepad.

Once in Notepad go into File/Open, change file types to "All Files" and then open your Word document. There will be loads of code and your original text may just also be in there too. If so, block it and copy it into a fresh Word document. If not, I'm fresh out of ideas
