how to find previous version of saved file in word 2013

I saved a file by mistake and I want to get the previous saved version, but when I went to Manage Versions it said that there is no previous version of the file.  I know I saved the file a few times before this time but there is no record of this in word 2013.  Please help.

Regards.

Where is the document saved? Automatic versioning via File | Info requires that you have saved the document to OneDrive. If it is saved locally, you have to create your own backups (for example by enabling the "Always save backup copy" option at File tab | Options | Advanced).
