Can an erased MS Word document be recovered?

Strictly speaking yes, if you have the time and money to bring some
seriously high-tech methods to bear (ever used an electron microscope?) .
For practical purposes, no.

There are degrees of erasure. You *may* be able to recover the document with
file recovery (undelete) software, but how successful you are will depend on
what you have done on the PC since deleting that file that would have
overwritten the file space the document had occupied.
