The "save as" command doesn't overwrite the original
document, it just saves a copy with a new name. So if you
were in docuB.doc and clicked "save as" and named it
docuA.doc, you now have two files. Word closed docuB.doc
when you saved as docuA.doc, but docuB.doc is still on
your computer. If you don't remember where it originally
was saved, go to the Start menu and Search for Files and
Folders. Type in "docuB.doc" and it will show you where
the file is.
