How do I recover an original document that has been overwritten?
I was trying to correct the format in an original saved document. I
inadvertently lost some content when cutting and pasting and I cannot find it. Is there a way that I can recover the lost content? |

If the document is still open, you can Undo. If you have "Automatically
create backup copy" enabled (Tools | Options | Save), you can display "All Files" and look in the document folder for "Backup of filename.wbk." Aside from that, you may be sunk. -- Suzanne S.
