I saved a document, but then made changes and when I saved I did not rename it. So, I want to find the previous version of this document....is there a revision history on MacWord like there is on Google Sites?

If you did not select "always make a backup" in Mac Word preferences "save", then your document was overwritten and the previous version gone. Word also has the ability to compare changes or revisions in your documents but you have to select that while you're in Word.

If you are using Time Machine, you can go "back in time" to yesterday and restore the older version of the document.
