Default open and repair

After a 'corrupt file' message, I opened and repaired then saved as Word
suggested. I lost a week's work. I now want to open the unrepaired document.
How can I do this? Or how can I undo the jumble that it left of my tables and
illustrations?

Default open and repair

The document was corrupt - that's why it is jumbled. If you saved the
'repaired version with the same name, then the original would only be
available from a backup.
