File replaced by another file while saving. Anyway to get back the first file?

I'm running Word 2003. I made a mistake. I created my first document
and saved it. My second file uses the same format so I just edit on
the first file. But I forget to give a different name when saving.
Now is there any way to get the first file back?

I see there are a bunch of *.tmp file on the directory I saved the
file. Anyway to open them up and see if I can get something back?
.
