If the document is still open, you can use Undo to get the original document
back; save it under the original filename, the Redo and save again under a
different name. If you've closed the document but have "Always create backup
copy" enabled on the Save tab of Tools | Options, then display All Files and
look for "Backup of <filename>.wbk," which will be the previous version. If
you don't have this option enabled, now you know why you should!
