As a general rule, not unless you have a backup copy or were using Word's
versioning feature. There is no hidden feature that does this behind the
scenes. Sometimes, if you're careful, you can find all or part of the
overwritten document's contents lurking in .tmp files, or if you use a hard
disk editor, you might be able to find the contents that way. But, once a
document has been overwritten, unless you have a backup copy or earlier
versions saved within the same file (File - Versions), there is no surefire
way to recover the lost document.
