I have found multiple restored documets lost in Windows 98 Second Edition-NT,
after running scanreg.exe, but shouldn't assume it is possible for all. : (
Just the same, it couldn't hurt to check the Recycle Bin, Documents automatic
shortcuts, and Recent Files. I had a whole directory for a newsletter,
processed, designed and saved in the "My Documents" section, when I had that
operating system, and it was not a problem re-accessing everything, but I
had it preconfigured to save that material, in the event of a crash.
You can also set your End-User preferences in Microsoft Office-Word to
automatically save your documents, every 15 minutes, if necessary, in most
versions of Word. It should be in your "Tools" drop-down menu, in the
Options tab, where it gives you specific choices on how you want your
documents saved. If you don't want to transfer to floppy, then just make a
copy; and set it aside for these situations, that nearly all of us have been
through.
There are quite a few new Date Recovery Services available out there, but
they're really expensive, and it might be cheaper, just to start over. : (
Sorry, wish I could help more.

No need to apologize. You made a resume, so you know something. Sometimes
I
believe I know alot, then other days, I'm starting over.
The file being unsaved is not automatically deleted. Closing out a file is
not the same as deleting. You might just have to add the changes made,
over
again, depending on what you can remember, and how complicated.
If you do not check your Recycle Bin regularly, it might be saved there.
Shortcuts are added on to the "Documents"tab, and listed in "Recent"
files,
where you might find the unsaved version of your resume, without any
recent
changes. Documents can be found in Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer,
and
your Start-up menu. The Recycle Bin commonly has an Icon, on most
desktops.
The worst case scenirio, but still optional choice is to use the
scanreg/system restore option. This is done differenlty and varies
greatly
throughout the different operating systems and Microsoft Office versions.
It
would be best to do this with complete, step-by-step assistance from the
professional Tech Support service, included with your computer purchase
and
ownership. Most will guide your through this cost free. I know the
scanreg
(restore entire registry) is drastic, but will allow you to go back even
as
far as one week, to the point in time, where your resume still existed.
For
future uses, transfer all important documents to a floppy diskette (A:\
Drive), a CD disk (E:\ Drive}, or memory stick. Your computer should have
A
drive, nearly all of them do, but not all come with the "memory stick"
option
for removable storage.
