Unless you have been creating a backup of the file regularly, my
experience
is that you will not be able to recover what you have overwritten.
Compare
the system restore file and your current file and see which is the best
approximation of the overwritten file.

Is there any way of getting back some text if its been accidentally
overwritten and saved? System restore takes me back too far, I just
want to
go back to about 10am this morning to see if I can get all the text
back.
