No it is not....
And to compound the problem, the doc that i accidentally saved was a text doc that I saved in the excel file.

you might be able to bring it back with a restore (xp), or with time machine (osx)...
google "Windows XP System Restore Guide" -- there's a nice guide from "bleepingcomputer".

Okay, maybe silly question .... but have you tried opening excel, going to the file menu, and looking in your windows temp directory for any excel related temps?

Did a quick google and found this

Didn't try it myself so it is at your own risk.
Good luck
