Document mis-management

[Melissa]

I have inadvertently opened an old version of a document
and in haste, used the Save As command from the File menu
to wipe out nearly 30 hours of editing. Is there any
method of recovering my old version?

I am using XP home Version and Office XP.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Melissa,

Do you have the "Always create backup copy" option checked under
Tools>Options>Save?

Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.

Hope this helps

Doug,

Sorry to say, no it was not checked. It is now.

Thanks for your help.
