I am working in MSWord. I created a document of 68 pages and saved it as 121107. I then created a new document of 3 pages and accidentally saved it as 121107. It has now overwritten the one of 121107 and it did not create a backup copy. Is there any way I can recover the first document called 121107?

You can try Recuva to get that original file.28 pages is worth the effort.
If you do ,don't forget to change the name.Don't want to lose the other 3 pages.
Good Luck,

It was 68 pages!!! I did try with Recuva but no luck. I used the date of the hearing for the name of the document. I completed the one for 21 November, then called it up and used it to start a hearing on the 22nd. I changed the date at the top of the page from 21st to 22nd, deleted the rest of the document and went on typing merrily. Then I pressed Ctrl-S and that's when I saved it with the wrong name. Stupid, stupid me. It's not the first time I have done it. Do we never learn?
Thanks for suggestions.
