MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008I closed file 2003, saved it, but didn't mean to, lost data
I saved a file in Office 2003, but didn't mean to, is it possible to go back to a previous version. I've looked in the microsoft help online and couldn't find anything. Thank you Word 2003 uses the same format as Word 97, 2000, and 2002. Unless you have a version earlier than Word 97, there should be no issue.  SignatureSuzanne S.

That does make sense given the subject line. amyalison: If you have "Always create backup copy" checked on the Save tab of Tools | Options, you can look for the "Backup of <filename>.wbk" file; it will be the previous saved version.

If you were working on a file someone else sent you, and you didn't delete the email they sent it to you in, then save a new copy of the original file (change its name so it doesn't overwrite the changed one), and then Compare the documents, and you'll get a third file showing the changes in the form of Track Changes.
