Default Lost Word Document

I had two Word documents open. I accidentally saved Document #2 under Document #1 filename. Document #1 is now gone. Is there a way to retrieve the lost document #1? I've tried Free Undelete from Officerecovery.com without result.

Default Lost Word Document

If you have the option turned on to Automatically create a backup copy and
you have not since saved the document again, there should be a file with a
..wbk extension that you can use. If not, you are probably out of luck.
