I accidentally deleted the contents of a document in Word and then saved it. How do I retrieve the original document with the contents?

If you have not deleted it from recycle bin. on opening the re cycle bin click on restore, and it should be back where it came from .

There are piles of file recovery programs out there...
I'd use WinHex (www.winhex.com) or Bacula (http://freshmeat.net/projects/bacula/?branch_id=35297&release_id=158351).
In Winhex you can recover files by name, file type or contents.
I'm sure there's plenty more good programs out there too...

www.winhex.com - it's got me out of a few scrapes...
