Default Saved Files

While saving a file, I mistakenly used an existing file name. Can I get that
original file back without having to redo all my work?

Hi ?B?Y3VscGVwZXI3MQ==?=,

While saving a file, I mistakenly used an existing file name. Can I get that
original file back without having to redo all my work?

Only if you had Word set to create a backup, and resaved only the one time over
the original. Then the backup should contain your original. Otherwise, no, it's
gone.
