Default How do I restore an accidentally erased text?

I stupidly highlighted an important letter I wrote and then by accident hit
the backspace button, deleting the text. Is there any way to get it back?
Thanks.

If you still have the document open, click on the Undo button.

If you haven't yet closed the document, click Undo. (And remember this for
the next time -- DON'T PANIC is not just the slogan for the Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy!)

If you saved and closed an empty document (why would you do that??), then I
hope you have a backup copy or at least a printed version you can retype.

See http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm for a means of preventing
any repeat disasters.
