Retrieve old doc in Word
I saved changes to a document in error. I should have done a save as. When
I go to versions, it contains not information. What else can I do short of scanning in the previous doc. |

Hi ?B?b2hhcnJpcw==?=,
I saved changes to a document in error. I should have done a save as. When I go to versions, it contains not information. What else can I do short of scanning in the previous doc. If you do not have Word configured to save a back up copy (tools/options/save) then there's no chance to get back the previous version. The File/Versions feature is similar to Save As: it only fires when you explicitly tell it to. (But I do NOT recommend using it!)

There really is nothing you can do. Once you save a document a new
file containing your current modifications is created. If the document is still open you may be able to use Undo and undo your changes but once you close the file there is no reverting to a previously saved version unless you have a backup copy of the file. To determine of you have backups enabled go to Tools/Options/Save and see if "Always create backup copy" is enabled. If so you will find a backup copy of your document if you change the Files of Type in the Open dialog box to display "All Files". -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
