How do I retrive a file I have altered (overwritten) and saved by.
Windows Xp home edition.
Altered a 'word' document then inadvertently used 'save', instead of 'save as'. How do I revert back to my original document.... i.e. before it was saved? Regards |

If the document is still open, Undo back to the point where you started,
resave, then Redo everything and Save As. If you have already closed the file, you're out of luck unless you have Word set to make automatic backups *and* have saved only once. In that case, display All Files and look for "Backup of filename.wbk," which will be the previous version. Open it and save it under another name. -- Suzanne S.
