Default open and repair

The document was corrupt - that's why it is jumbled. If you saved the
'repaired version with the same name, then the original would only be
available from a backup.

After a 'corrupt file' message, I opened and repaired then saved as
Word suggested. I lost a week's work. I now want to open the
unrepaired document. How can I do this? Or how can I undo the jumble
that it left of my tables and illustrations?
