If it has not been saved you cannot recover it if you've exited Word yourself. If Word crashed while you were working, then when you reopen Word you may have a recovery version of your document.

-----

If you have enabled the AutoSave & AutoRecover options then you can recover your unsaved document otherwise you cannot recover.

If this applies for you then recover your document by following steps:

If you have saved your file then follow below steps:

  • Open your desired file.
  • Click on the File tab and go-to the Infosection.
  • Select 'when I closed without saving' option from the Versions.
  • Now click on the Restore button to overwrite any previous changes.

If you have not saved your file then follow below steps to recover the file:

  • Click on the File tab and go-to the Infosection.
  • Now select 'Recover unsaved document' from 'Manage versions'.
  • Now select your desired file and click on the 'Open' button to open the file.
  • Save as the file to save the file at new location.
