I have saved a file of the same name and said yes to
overwiting. (no point telling you why...silly me!) Is
there any way to recover the file I overwrote? It was
larger but has an edit date 2 days before the file I have.
 
If you havenot closed the file, use Undo as many times as necessary to get
back to the original document. Saving does not clear the Undo stack, but
closing does.

Hi Steve

Check in the folder you saved you file in an see if there is a file called
something like "Backup of 'your document name'.wbk". If there is try opening
this file with Word depending on how many times you've saved the file it may
contain what you want.

slove my problem.
However, I did remember I did a backup of my files eariler
that week and managed to recover my original document.
