Retrieving Microsoft Word documents?

I just got my laptop stolen a few hours ago. On it was saved about 6 months of my hard work that I stupidly did not back up into a flash drive or Google drive. The laptop is a Lenovo U 430 running Windows 8 (i believe) so it made me make a Microsoft account when I first set it up.

I already filed a police report, but I honestly have no hope of getting my laptop back. My question is, is there any possible way for me to retrieve those Microsoft word files? Anyway using that Microsoft account?

Unless you saved the files to the cloud you can kiss your files good bye

I agree Microsoft OFFICE is NOT part of the account. So if you didn't save it ANYWHERE externally then it is gone with the harddrive it was on!

I have a question about opening Libreoffice documents… Just today, my icons for all of the word processed Libre office documents, have a blue Lenovo icon, but I want my Libre office icon back so I can open the file automatically.
