How do I undo a saved document?
I erased my old document when I was done (didnt close it out) and I typed
something new. Then when I went to save it and by actident I pressed 'save' instead of 'save as' and it saved over the document I had before. How can I get that old document back? |

If you haven't closed the document, you can Undo back to where you started,
save again, then Redo and Save As. If you've already closed the document, then unless you have a backup, the original document is gone. -- Suzanne S.

There maybe a chance that you did this at work and your IT department backs
up everything on the drives other than the C drive, I would call them and have them send you the yesterdays copy or ask what they feel would be best for giving you the backup of that. Hope you saved to the shared drives. If you did this at home or on a personal PC, I havent tried this method but it may work, I would do a System Restore from a time before you saved the doc.

System restore does not affect data files and unfortunately will not affect this issue. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
