Working on a document today I finished and saved it. Then I went back to the
document and deleted some of the text amending it for my new task I was
working on. I wanted to keep some text from the original text in my new
document.

Then without thinking I hit the save button instead of the save as button!
Now I have lost the first document! Is there anyway to retrieve my lost data?

If the document is still open, use Undo to recover the deleted text.

If you have closed that file, no.

So just to clarify... If I still had the document open I could undo back to
the original document. Even though I had saved?!

Definitely useful for the next time. Thanks.

Generally yes. (I'm hesitant to say that will *always* work, but it's worked
everytime I screwed up and hit save instead of save as.)

Once you hit that wrong key, do a save as and change the name, then undo,
undo, undo as much as you need. Then save as the OLD name again. :-)

that happens to me before..always be reminded to save before closing your documents that you have worked on..for faster way of saving it just press ctrl+s then its done..
