Default restoring a file to a previously saved time

On re-reading your questions, is this simply a date field showing the wrong
date? If so, the reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows
the system date. What you need to do is change those date fields for
createdate fields - ALT+F9 change {DATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}or {TIME \@ "d MMM
yyyy"} to {CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"} then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the
date in your letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the
correct dates. The switches \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your
location.

Would restting your system clock to the date time you wish to save

If the document has not been closed, you can use undo to remove
edits made in that session. If you have saved the document and
closed it, then the only possibilities of recovery are from your
automatic backup - or from your routine backup. If you have not
bothered with either then you could scan a printed copy. Otherwise
you will have to retype it.

major changes were made, without any luck. I have tries looking
under versions and restoring my computer also. Any other ideas or
should I start again?
