    depends on how you have word set up. usually if you have some auto-save shit enabled, when you re-open word, it should open up with everything that was auto-saved.

    pc? typing in word?

    word usually will save the last known documents that were being edited (but not necessarily the last exact word you were typing, most likely somewhere close) and have them displayed on a side panel when you re open word after rebooting...

    It may still have it in the temp files. Just do a search for a phrase you know is in the paper. I've saved a few papers that way.
