Default formatting paragraphs

This being several days later, I have a nagging suspicion that the file has
been saved and closed several times since the initial incident. That being
the case, Undo would now be well out of reach.

Have you tried using Undo? If you've just run AutoFormat over the
document,
a single Undo should do it, but check the Undo list to see how many steps
you need to Undo.

These suggestions didn't work. Not only am I missing hundreds of tabs,
but
many blocks of text are in a new font than before. What could I have done

in
the formatting menu to get this result? How do I undo it, or make the
paragraphing uniform once again. Thanks in advance if you can help me!!

Is Undo an option? With a document that large, it might not be.

After getting that result, I sure hope you either a) saved the file

using a
new name or b) closed the document without saving the changes. If a and

b
aren't your salvation, do you have Always Create Backup Copy enabled
(Tools - Options - Save)? If so, then check the document folder for

files
whose names begin with Backup...

I went into the Autoformatting menu to fix a problem and somehow

managed to
erase about half of my paragraph indents in a 200 page document.

Please
Help!
