Alright his is where I'll ask you to trust a stranger on the net. Hit the reset button on your computer. When it reboots, start word and it will recover the document for you. It's happened to me many times.

It's very likely that MS Word saved a recovery file that will open up when the program is opened again. To be on the safe side, if you decide to close it down & restart, hit the PrtScrn button with the document open before closing. This will take a snapshot of the screen and post it on your clipboard. You can then paste it to any program that can view image files (MSPaint, for example).
At least then you'll be able to view some of the original if all else fails.

As a contingency plan you can also copy and paste to Notepad or Wordpad in case the document isn't recoverable before you shutdown. You may lose the formatting, but at least you'll still have all the text.
