I inadvertantly copied a document to the wrong one.. in excel. Is there a
way to get back the original document?

Do you mean you gave a new doc the same name as an old one, and you want the
old one back?

Maryk, if you have not saved the file, just close it without saving, if you
have saved it do you have a backup copy?

If you have not backed up the file other places to look for a copy, have you
e-mailed it? May be a copy in your sent items folder, if file was on a
network server it probably makes backups at sometime, check with you IT
person, have you gave the file to someone else that might have a copy of it?
Copy on another computer? Other wise I think it is gone, in the future
ALWAYS create backup files of your work.

I was unaware of... Thanks.

This would be a delightful time to figure out a backup routine that do you
religiously.
