I just "Saved" over my document accidently. Can I get my original document
back??? (I meant to "Save As" to create a separate document!!!)

If you have 'Always create backup' checked on Tools > Options > Save, then
the folder containing the file will also contain a file called 'Backup of
..... .wbk' containing the file as it was when you opened it.

Failing that, and if you have the file still open, display the undo list and
select everything -- that will work depending on how many individual changes
you made between the original and the version you saved.

Failing that ... well you do make back-ups, do you not?

Otherwise, pour yourself an expensive scotch, make a wry face, think of
Buddha, ... etc.

If you have already closed that document, no.

If you haven't, do a save as and rename the file. Do multiple undo's until
you are back to where you started, and then do a save as and name it the
original file name.
