Default How to retrieve mistakenly deleted data from a table in Word

I have mistakenly deleted a number of rows from a table in
WORD 2002 and really need to be able to retrieve this.
Not realizing that I had not re-inserted the data, I hit
the Save button and now I have a table minus the data I
need

Hoping that the experts in this can help me.

If the document is still open, just use Undo. If you've closed it but have
"Automatically create backup copy enabled" (Tools | Options | Save), display
"All Files" and look for "Backup of filename.wbk," which will be the
previously saved version, which should include the deleted text, which you
can copy/paste back in.

If it is still open, press Ctrl-Z (undo). Otherwise, if you have Word set to
save a backup copy, you can open the backup.
