undo saving a document in Word

S

I changed a Word document and hit save. Oops!! Now I want to revert to the
pre-editted version. Can I get it back?

If you realize the mistake before you close the document, you can usually
just Undo to the state of the document before you started editing, and then
save again. Once the document is closed, you're toast. If you have a backup
copy, restore it; otherwise... Sorry.

As long as you haven't closed the document, you can use Undo: press Ctrl+Z
until you get back the version that you want.
