Depending on the version of Word you are using, you might be able to recover from something like that by hitting undo or by the auto-save recovery routine. I don't remember how the files are labeled but in the same location as your "saved" documents should be a temporary file that word can use to recover with. If you have the Auto-Save function set to save at fairly short intervals, you always have a safety net.
