What do you write it in ...
I use Word and every 1000 word I make a copy

Did you write it directly on here? Always a bad mistake if you did, or indeed writing anywhere online.
Best to set your WP program to save every 5 minutes or so. It should be in your deleted folder, unless you deleted it from there too?
If you're in word and it's still in memory, (CTRL)+(V) should undo the delete.
Give us some more info, maybe it's recoverable?

It was actually deleted or you didn't save it? If deleted, maybe try Recuva or some other program to rebuild/retrieve deleted files.
Even files you delete are still there on your hard drive unless the space they were occupying is overwritten with something else.

Sad to say that I don't know much about computers. Perhaps I can get my better half to help out on this, I kind liked what I had going. Something about a long drive and not much to do...

(CTRL)+(Z) would be the Undo hotkey. If it was copied to clipboard, i.e. cut & paste, then (CTRL)+(V) would paste the contents of the clipboard. That's in most Microsoft programs, or ones that run on MSFT platforms. I don't recall the hotkeys on Mac, and Linux is a whole different animal all together. But then again he said he's not much of a computer guy, so he's probably on a PC platform. I won't even get into those weirdos running BeOS, LOL.
That said, the Undo shortcut would only be usefull in the same session, not closed out, unless he's got some of the ridiculously aggressive journaling settings on for like work space collaborative documents. Again, probably over his head.
But yeah, been there, done that.
