Hello Andrew, and welcome to ExcelFox
I think if your documents where on the drive that you accidentally formatted, then I had always assumed that there is no way to recover anything as formatting a disc is very thorough. However, neither I or any of the current regulars here are experts at MS Word or file recovery: I have heard of software claiming to recover stuff that initially one would likely regard as lost.
I do know that newer Microsoft things have a habit of trying to spy on you so there may be copies made somewhere that you don’t know about, but I would not know how to get at those.
Perhaps you could try these places where there are more regulars with MS Word and other general MS Windows issues.
