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... -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

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!! "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Is Undo an option? With a document that large, it might not be.

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. -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. "Suzanne S.

Yeah, multiposting in separate NGs is understandable given how hard it is to
crosspost from the Communities, but the difficulty in finding past posts (once they have cycled onto another "page") is driving the posting of new messages about the same problem. -- Suzanne S.
