If it was a physical overwrite, forget it. Nobody at present
admits being able to recover that (and that includes the
NSA). There is also indication that it may be impossible
(in the strong, physical sense).

If it is a on FAT partition you can look for it with this:

Arno Wagner's comments are correct, but it is not neccessarily a
a direct overwrite. And even if it was, Word may have left an
incidental copy of the original file laying around. Either way, the
file's contents will be in unallocated sectors and subject to being
overwritten, so it is a long shot, but maybe worth trying.

If the system is any flavor of NT, you'll have to run the program from
a DOS boot disk.
