I have a Word 2007 template (dotm) working in Vista Business.

Today I added some more procedures to a module. Compiled and saved these.
Closed the template. Ran it again and tested the results.

Based on the results, I had to make some minor changes to the coding. As I
was comparing items on the ribbon and looking at the VBA, Word crashed and
then restarted. I reopened the template, opened the VBA editor and all the
new coding I had added had completeley disappeared. Just the original coding
was left.

It's as if the template had gone back to the point where I started the new
coding. I've never experienced this apparent "rollback" to an earlier
version.

I couldn't believe my eyes!

I supose I have three questions:
Is rollback what really happened?
How can I prevent it?
and
Has a copy the full version been put into some obscure folder? I've searched
for some likely renaming but nothing appeared.

Can anyone offer some thoughts on this, please?

I would rather suspect that you'd never explicitly saved the changes you were
making, so when Word crashed they were lost?
