It is basically impossible to recover an overwritten file with the same name, but there is a workaround to try. No, no: When word is editing, it will generate a temporary file in the same folder where the file is saved. Every time you save automatically, you don't actually overwrite the original temporary file, but you generate a temporary file at the same time. If you save it multiple times, there may be different temporary files. Don't underestimate these temporary documents. This is a snapshot of the different progress when you edit word. So when you recover, find the nearest temporary one. These files are hidden files. You can't see all the files until they are opened and displayed in the folder. If you see some files that start with $ ~, just do it. In addition, search in the temporary folder C: \ DocumentsSandSetting \ Your User Name \ Application Data \ Microsoft \ Office of word.
