Mark Williams is probably correct and by overwritting the file it is
doubtful the original survived... unless you've used the backup settings
in OOo. To see where those are located, in OOo open:
Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org|Paths and check to see if you got lucky.

You should explore: Tools|Options|Load/Save|General as well as:
