I accidentally saved over my paper with a bibliography. Is there any way to get the paper back? This was on Microsoft Word.

I'm not sure you can. The only way I think you could is by going to a past version of your harddrive, but if you don't reguarly back it up there'd be very little to go with.

If you use the Windows ME or XP OS, you can roll back by using the System Restore feature, which makes automatic backups. But success relies on two assumptions:

1. That a backup was made after you saved your paper and before you saved your bibliography over it, and...
2. That System Restore even saves a Word document, or any document, for that matter. I lean towards the notion that it does, but I'm not entirely clear on what System Restore may exempt.

System restore does not do documents.

As the above user has pointed out, assumption two is erroneous.

Well, thanks for the help guys but I ended re-doing my paper. Took me an hour and a half; I guess I remembered everything I wrote down.
