I downloaded a word document from my email by giving it the same name as one
of my file on my computer. When it asked “the ‘xyz’ file has already exit, do
you want to replace it?†I accidentally clicked “Yesâ€! Now the old “xyz†file
is lost. My file old file was replaced by the new file that I download, is
there any way I can find my old file? I tried to restore to an earlier time,
but it didn’t work! Thanks a Bunch!
 
Hi, Amy. In Word, if the "Always create backup copy" option is enabled in
Tools | Options | Save, then the previous version of the document will be
saved with a .wbk extension to the same folder as the current version of the
document. If you don't have this option enabled, then the previous version
of the document is gone.
 
Thanks for your help! But my file was gone :((((

Note also that Windows restore doesn't affect data files.
