I don't know all the particulars, but I know the first thing is to NOT do
anything ... don't press any keys, etc., until you hear the full instructions... "ANGEL" wrote in message ... I made a terrible mistake and wrote over an existing very important document and i was hoping that someone could assist me or perhaps suggest something? |

How can I restore a replaced document (ms word)
The obvious answer is to restore it from your last backup. If you don't have
a backup, then it was not, in practice, a 'very important document'. One possible alternative: look in the folder that contains it for a file called 'backup of ...' If you have 'Always create backup copy' checked, Word will have created a backup when last you edited the file. But if you've since opened the new file, the backup will have been overwritten already.

How can I restore a replaced document (ms word)
The backup will be the next-to-last version (not the version that was
overwritten), and it will not have been overwritten if the new document has been opened, only if it's been saved. -- Suzanne S.
