It happened to me once, a crash while editing a 240K Word document with a lot of drawings
in it.

I located the last "Word Temp" file, noticed that its size is about the size of
my original document. I used FEdit to change the author and type of the "Word Temp"
file to the value of a "true" Word file. Then it opened under Word just as
a normal word document with all my precious data.
