can i recover an earlier version of a word document that has been.
I mistakenly clicked "save" instead of "save as" after I made some changes to
a word document that I wanted to keep, and then closed the file. Is there any way to recover this earlier version of my document? |

Yes. From your system backup tape. Or, if you have Word set to save a
backup, it will be there, in the same folder with a different extension. It will be named "Backup of MyDoc.wbk" instead of "MyDoc.doc." This feature creates a new backup for your document each time you save, overwriting any previous backup. If you have this turned on, every once in a while you'll probably want to go into your documents folders and clean out the old backups. No backup? It is gone. Sorry. This is one, of many, reasons to use templates rather than documents as the basis for new documents.
