You don't unless you have a backup. Word provides for making such a backup
but you have to turn the option on.
Tools Options Save (tab)
Check the option to always save a backup copy.
Note there is _one_ backup copy per document so if you save twice, you wipe
out the old backup with the new one.

Instead of hitting "Save As" I hit the "Save" button. How do I get the
old
document back?
