restoring deleted data in Word

By accident, I deleted my day's work from a Word file
which I had saved. I did not delete the file, only
everything in the file, then I saved the changes,
thinking I had a back-up on disk. I was horribly
mistaken.

Does anyone know how to get my deleted data back? I can
find the file (which is empty, because of my stupidity),
but cannot find any of the work contained in the file.
Thanks in advance.
 
Were you by chance using Word's version save feature or automatic backup
feature (look for a file with a .bak extension with the original front part
of the file name in the same directory). If not, and you can't find a
backup file elsewhere, you are out of luck.
