Default I saved instead of 'save as' - is there any way to go back?

Is there a way to go back to a previous version of a letter that was
accidentally saved over with changes?

Default

If you haven't closed the file, use Undo to undo back to where you opened
the document, save it again, then Redo all the changes and Save As. If you
have already closed the file and have "Automatically create backup copy"
enabled (Save tab of Tools | Options), then look for the previous version as
"Backup of filename.wbk" in the same folder with the document (display All
Files to see .wbk files).
