If you still have the document open, you may be able to proceed as follows:
1) Do "Save As" and save the document in a new location
2) Repeatedly do "Undo" until you get back to the document you started with
3) Do "Save As" the original document filename to save the original back to how it was
If you have closed the document, the only way to get back is to restore from backup. (Unless you are prepared to spend Big Money and send the disk to a data recovery expert)

facility is a Save preference called "Always Make Backup" which is accurate
to the last time you saved your document. The problem in this case is that
George had done a save of the new document which means that the backup would
have reflected this. In other words, he would have been totally screwed
even if "Always Make Backup" had been turned on.
