How do I retrieve a word document I accidently deleted

[Guest]

I was trying to open up one of my word documents and I received a message
about wanting to replace the document. I accidently said yes and clicked and
now I cannot locate the file. How do I find it?

If you have 'Automatically create backup copy' check under Tools > Options,
then the folder may contain a file called 'Backup of ...' -- this will be
the file as it was when you last opened it (ie, without the changes of the
final session).

Apart from that, if you over-wrote it, it's gone.
