Default Clicked "Save" instead of "Save As" and need to recover origin

Thanks for the clarification.

Miracle of miracles, I actually backed up all my documents very recently and
have a copy of the document I need!

To add to this, Versions gets used only if you explicitly turn it on. It's
not automatic.

The only other possible salvation would be if you had "Always create backup
copy" enabled, in which case, there will be a file named Backup of
{filename}.wbk in the same folder as the original file (unless you've
already overwritten it as well).

If the doc has not been *closed* since you saved you can use Undo to go as
far back as necessary. If the doc has been closed I'm afraid you're out of
luck.
