Can I retrieve a document that was not saved

I keyed new information into a existing document and inadvertently did not
use "save as" function. I need to retrieve the original document if possible.

If you have the option set to automatically save a backup, there is one out
there. It would be in the same folder as your document but start with Backup
of ... You won't see it from Word, use Windows to look.

This is but one of many reasons to use templates to create new documents,
not old documents.
