I accidently clicked "no" when a Word document asked me if I wanted to save.
Is there any way I can get back the information I was working on? Please
help me a soon as possible

Probably not. The document is stored in the computer's RAM until it is
saved. If you say no when asked to save the RAM is cleared out. Now, if you
were working on a document that you had previously saved, the original
document would still be in place.

Lessen learned. Save often when creating new work, at least once every ten
minutes.

I worked for a company quite a few years ago that had a team of 25 CAD
operators/designers. I can't begin to tell you how often a person would lose
5-6 hours of design work, because they didn't save regularly. The department
finally put in a bell that dinged loudly every ten minutes. Anybody who lost
work more that ten minutes old was severely reprimanded - maybe dismissed if
they were a repeat offender.

IMHO, no. If you didn't save the data, then there's nothing to be
recovered.

I wish I had read this thread before I answered the same person who posted
the same question a second time somewhat later. I have no idea why he
expected to find someone giving him a different answer.

It interests me however that you, as I, quoted an experience where
professionals forgot the golden rule of saving often.
