I created a new doc named 4-4 at 4 pm. I then created another new doc at 4:59
but accidently saved as 4-4. Is there a way to retrieve the original 4-4 doc?

If you have Vista Ultimate, it has a "versions" feature... I don't have it,
but I think you right-click on the file, and can go back to a previous
version.

If you have revision history switched on in Word you can look at the history
of changes. Also look for recent *.tmp files that may hold a snap-shot of
the data you were working with...
