Well, I see there's bit a lot of water under the bridge here, and some of it
is a bit muddy. The fact is that there is still hope. You say that you have
"Always create backup copy" enabled, so in fact you can (probably) find at
least a vestige of the overwritten document, provided it had been saved at
least twice. Open the folder where the document lives and display All Files.
Look for one named "Backup of <filename>.wbk." This will be the previous
version of the file you overwrote. If you save fairly often, it will be
within 5-15 minutes' work of being the same as the one you lost.

For more on the various Save Options, see
