It is easy to accidentally overwrite a file if you are updating a basic template (e.g. committee minutes or a resume.) If you have closed the document you are toast. Your only hope is to try to find an auto-saved version.
HOWEVER, if you hit SAVE instead of SAVE AS and you still have the document open do this:
1. Select all (CTRL A); Copy (CTRL C)
2. Open a new blank document and paste (CTRL V) your revised text in
3. Return to the one you want to recover. Use the UNDO command (CTRL Z) until you have backed out all the changes. Could take a while but should restore your document to its original state. SAVE again.
4. Now go to the NEW document and SAVE AS the new name.
Best practice: immediately do SAVE AS the new name when you open the document before making changes.
If you haven't got earlier copies saved elsewhere, then I'm afraid it's imposible. (I'm presuming that you are talking about opening a saved file, rather than saving it and then realising while you still have the document open, that you want to regress.)
In the latter, the undo button/ shortcut (ctrl + z) (Cmd +z for apple) should still work with the vast majority of programs.
To avoid this happening to you again, in Microsoft Word (and I presume the same is true for the rest of office) go to file - preferences click on the save tab and select "always create backup copy". That means, that when you save a file, the previous save is kept as a backup. To open this file, got to the folder you saved the document in and look for a file that has the same name as the saved document, but ends in a .wbk extension. Right click this file, choose "open with" and then Microsoft word.
Sorry I can't help do what you want, but at least it doesn't need to happen again. :)

ctrl + Z Ctrl +Z is undo for everything
File - save as - name it - save
In order to get it to Microsoft word you need to copy it over to there from the internet than go to file and click save as.
You can save your Microsoft works document in "saved as" to be a Microsoft word document. All you do is have to go to "File" the go to "Save As" then go to "Save as type" and then click the down arrow next to the "Save as type" and click "word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)" or click "word 2007 Document (*.docx). This should work. I would save it as the word 97-2003 Document (*doc). Hope this helps, Waveracer200
MS Word can save as HTML, but cannot do raw HTML code.
How to save files.

Most Macintosh word processing software provides some compatibility with Microsoft's Word. For example if you are using the Mac version of Microsoft's Word then you save the page. If you are using TextEdit you Save the file selecting one of the Word .doc options from the File Format menu at the bottom of the Save pane. If you are using Pages tick the box Save copy as Word Document in the save pane.
