I just hit save instead of save as by mistake! Is there any way of reverting
to the previous version?

If you have checked the "Always make backup copy" option in Tools
Options Save, look in the same folder for a file named "Backup of
xyz.wbk" where xyz is the name of your document. That will be a copy
of the document as it was at the previous save. More at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/AutomaticSave.htm.

If you don't have that, the following applies only if you haven't yet
closed the document...

Click the Undo button on the toolbar or press Ctrl+Z enough times to
remove all the changes you made (or click the down arrow on the Undo
button and select the part of the list going back to where you started
changing). When it looks like the original document, save it with the
original name.

Now use Redo to apply your changes, and (carefully!) Save As another
name.
