I agree that it's worth checking if your recently saved copy is more recent than Word's autosave document. It seems that Word only attempts to recover its last autosave document without checking if you had saved a more recent version yourself. Sometimes it can look like you have lost more than you actually have.

FWIW: Word 2008 crashes for me too a lot too, also on non-complex text-only documents - not a reliable tool for a translator. This is with spaces disabled entirely.
