Since Word documents and PDF files have different extensions the Word document should still exist.
If you somehow saved the PDF file with a Word extension:
- Right-click the file in Windows Explorer.
- Select Properties from the context menu.
- Does the Properties dialog have a Previous Versions tab?
- If so, see if you can find a valid version.
Otherwise, you can always copy the plain text of the document from the PDF file, and paste into a blank Word document...
