recover an previous version of a word doc?

positivenote · 2018-11-28 07:43:05

Hi all, probably an extreme long shot, but im working on a document and I accidently saved an older version over the latest. Im looking to know is there any way of retrieving a previous version of a word document? It was literally the version prior to the one I have just saved this morning. any help would be appreciated.

You may also be able to get it with the Previous Versions tab of the properties dialog for the file, using Volume Shadow Copies
