You cannot, sorry. I hope however that this has taught you to save your work frequently.

I don know if you could use Undelete from TuneUp in this situation, but it is something to try.

save a lot or get a mac

If you saved at least once, Word might be able to recover some or most of the file. If you never saved it there's nothing to recover, since there's nothing on your hard drive. (When a program crashes, anything it had in RAM is lost.)
