Recover a previous version of an MS Word file?

I used an existing MS Word file (a report) as a template for another report, then forgot to "save as" another file name. So now I no longer have the original report. Is it possible for me to recover it? I use a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X version 10.7.5 and Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.3.9.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), MS Word for Mac 2011

In the meantime, do not do any more work on Word until you get an answer.

There may be a location for a temporary file that you need to know, which would be wiped clean once you quit Word.
