Here is a walkthrough for recovering a lost document in word, however if no documents appear in the Document Recovery task pane than you will be unable to recover your document.
Review the files listed in the Document Recovery task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.), and decide which to keep.
If a file has [Recovered] in the title it is usually a file that contains more recent changes than a file with [Original] in the title.
If you want to view what repairs were made to a file, point to the file in the Document Recovery task pane, click the arrow next to the file’s name, and then click Show Repairs.
If you want to review the versions that were recovered, open all of the versions and save the best one.
For each file you want to keep, point to the file in the Document Recovery task pane, click the arrow next to the file’s name, and then do one of the following:
To work with the file, click Open.
To save the file, click Save As, and then enter a name for the file. By default, the file is saved in the same folder as the original file. If you use the same name as the original file, the original is overwritten. When you see a message asking whether you want to replace the existing file (with the changes you made up to the last time you saved the file), click Yes.
When you have opened or saved all of the files you want to keep, click Close in the Document Recovery task pane.

Here’s the easy way to rename files in bulk:
In Windows Explorer (or your My Documents folder, or wherever the files are located), select the files you want to rename. You can do this by clicking and dragging a box around them, or select them individually by holding down the Ctrl button and clicking individual files.
Once all the files you want to rename are highlighted, press F2, or right-click on one of the files and select Rename. All of your file selections will disappear except for one, but don’t panic: Type in your new name and click Enter. That’s it! One file will be now be named “renametext” and the others will have sequential numbers in the format of “renametext (1)” and “renametext (2)” and so on. File extentions like .gif, .jpg, or .doc will all be intact, so you can rename multiple types of files at once even if the formats aren’t the same.
