Restarted the computer without saving document. Is there anyway I can
retrieve the unsaved document?

The real answers are "maybe" and "unlikely".

If this was a result of pressing the system reset button or some kind of
crash, there may still be some temporary files on the disk with some or most
of the text. Use the search button in Windows Explorer (or My Computer,
depending on the Windows version) to look for files containing some phrase
that you know was in the document.

If Word was shut down in normal fashion, either manually or by choosing
Restart from the Start menu, then all the temporary files were probably
deleted at that time and you probably won't find anything.
