I opened a new Word doc and when I closed it, I was asked to save it. I
saved it under a name of a previously saved doc. I did not mean to do that
and want to recover the previous doc. Am I totally out of luck?

Not if you had the "Always create backup copy" option set under
ToolsOptionsSave.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Doug. I went in and checked the box. I hope this will help me in
the future if I need it.
