You have overwritten your paper with the other version. Unless you made a backup of this file, you will not be able to restore the previous version.
What program are you using for your Paper? If Using Microsoft Word, if you go to the Word icon on your most recently used programs off the start button and right click it, it will have a drop down arrow with the most recent versions of documents, or if Word is started, you can right click it on the Taskbar. Also when clicking on Word and choosing Open, you will see a list of the most recent documents. You might find it there, but I doubt it since the original was overwritten.
