How do retrive lost files from a pen drive?

[HydroJohn]

Hi there guys, I was using my pendrive yesterday to do some work on my computer using micrsoft word 2003. I lost my pendrive today and need the work on it for Saturday. I was hoping that microsoft word would automatically backup the work into some hidden files?

Please could someone tell me if its possible to get the work back and if so how?

Thanks

if you have word open and you click on File they might be listed in there.
