Sounds good, but I wonder how open it is to manipulation.Historically file
dates have never stood up to legal scrutiny without corroboration.

Another option exists if the user has Vista Business, Enterprise, or
Ultimate. When you right-click a file and open its properties, there
is now a Previous Versions tab. Vista makes "shadow" copies of files
when you edit/change them. For some files, for example, I see as many
as three or more prior versions this way. WikiPedia describes it:

I really wish Microsoft had put this feature into Home Premium.
However, it does provide us with an additional potential solution
when people ask this sort of question.

If you save as over an existing filename, you don't get a backup of
the original. However, I missed your point about older backups from
saving frequently.

I don't see why it should be. The .wbk file is not affected by
saving over a current version.

But if you used save as and ignored the warning then it is gone.

If you have "Automatically create backup copy" checked on the Save
tab of Tools | Options, you can find the next-most-recent version
of the document as "Backup of filename.wbk" in the same folder
with the document (you'll have to select All Files to see it). If
you saved frequently while working, this may be very close to the
final version that you inadvertently overwrote.

I accidently saved an old file over the name of a newer version.
By some miracle is there a way to undo this? I have just lost
myself about 1/2 day of work? Help!
