Lost file on my computer?

i was trying to copy a docx file from my phone to my laptop. i had the phone connected with the cable, and on the folder with all the files on my phone, i highlighted the one i wanted and hit ctrl+x. and on the desktop, right-clicked and clicked 'paste'. and as i was doing this, i got a pop-up from microsoft office clipboard saying the file was removed because my computer didn't support the format. i ume because i'm still running office 2003. but now the file didn't get copied to my computer, and it's no longer on my phone. any ideas on how i can get it back?
