Content gone, replaced with squares - please help!
I just opened a word document of mine and now it's 131 pages (used to be 5)
and filled with symbols like squares. only about 5% of the original content is still there, and for some strange reason, content from OTHER word documents have been put into this file. I really need help with this as this document is for an exam I have on Monday! |

It sounds like something stomped the crap out of your document. (That's the
less than technical terminology.) I doubt very much if there's anything that anyone can do. I assume you don't have your system set up to create a backup file? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Louisa" wrote in message ...

Oh dear. =/
I'm pretty sure there's backups set up on my comp, but I searched though all the backup files saved and none was this particular one.

I'd suggest you either find someone else who has that document or start
recreating it. Time's awasting. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Louisa" wrote in message ...
