    I worked with word document and executed one tool and accidentally my MS Word closed and I lost my data.I must confess I was lucky because I found next tool in community-docx file recovery.Software helped me very fast,it was free as far as I remember,besides that utility can help you and recover your damaged files in Microsoft Word format.
