I lost a paragraph. How can I find it?
Hey, good catch! Thanks!
Twayne` n , Suzanne S. Barnhill typed: Actually, only closing is disastrous. Word doesn't clear the Undo stack when you save (though some other applications do). "Twayne" wrote in message ... In , Flash typed: I was typing a speech I am to give in two weeks and it was single spaced. I decided for editing purposes that I wanted it double spaced. I went to the help section in my Word 2003 edition and it told me to select one paragraph at a time, which I did. I then fumbled around with the instructions but finally came across a box and an icon that had the double space I was looking for. I selected the icon and when I returned to the document, the paragraph I selected had disappeared, but the rest of my speech was, in fact, double spaced. How do I retrieve/find my selected original paragraph? (Unfortunately, I didn't keep a copy before I started exploring). If you haven't closed the document yet, or saved it since the para disappeared, try doing CTRL-A, CTRL-C to copy it to the clipboard in case something else screws up, and try pressing CTRL-Z one or more times. It should take you back to single spacing and put the para back. If you have closed or saved the document since the para disappeared though, the preceding won't work. Other than that, I guess it's a lesson in saving often and why. Keep CTRL-Z in mind, though. Or the Undo button on the menu bar; same thing. HTH, Twayne` |
