FTP'ed in ASCII a word file, how to recover

This is my worst nightmare in recent years!!!

I spent two days writing a proposal due tomorrow, ftp'ed the Word doc to a Unix machine in ASCII mode (i forgot to turn BIN on). Then I was trying to help a colleague download it and I accidently download the ASCII file back to the same dir on my local PC, overwriting the orginal good Word doc. Now Word cannot open it.

Can I use dos2unix on the Unix box, save it as abc.doc and then BIN ftp into my local PC for Word to open it? WIll that work? I am desperate, Any help is much appreciated.
