Lost Work! PLEASE HELP

I was using apple works word processing to work on a major assignment..i had finished for the evening was positive i saved what i had completed since i last saved and continued to quit the program...No prompt came up stating "would you like to save changes to the document..." so i assumed i had already saved....However, when reopening the document to make some revisions, I was frightened to see the first two lines of my work present!...is there any way i can recover that work?

Welcome to Apple Discussions Weslie
My guess is that you did one of two things while this file was open in AppleWorks, renamed the file in the Finder or moved the File in the Finder. Either of these will "break" AppleWorks connection to the file. Unless you had a program running in the background that records keyboard input, I'm afraid your work is lost & you will have to re-do it. In the highlighted AppleWorks Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) folder near the top of the entry of this forum is the User-Contributed Tips & Answers folder. In there are two articles dealing with this:
]Dale Gillard - Document content not saved
Vic Menard - AppleWorks fails to save properly
