Default File replaced by another file while saving. Anyway to get back the first file?

I don't suppose you still have that document open? If you haven't closed it,
you can try doing multiple Undos until you can't do it any more. Then save
it as the original name.

If you have closed it, you're pretty much SOL.

I'm running Word 2003. I made a mistake. I created my first document
and saved it. My second file uses the same format so I just edit on
the first file. But I forget to give a different name when saving.
Now is there any way to get the first file back?

I see there are a bunch of *.tmp file on the directory I saved the
file. Anyway to open them up and see if I can get something back?
