Disappearing text and other problems with word 2007
I'm new to using word, and I don't know what happened. I was typing a
practice letter on Word 2007 (I'm still learning how to type) and halfway through, all of my text disappeared, and the paragraph marker was at the middle of the top of the page. There were numerous times when I would hear a beep and the typing would stop showing on the page, until I clicked the spot with my mouse where I wanted to type, and then I could continue. Also when I finished the first line of the first paragraph, the next line started near the middle of the page, instead of at the margin, and when I retried it, it just happened again. I know that as a new typist I will make mistakes, but I have no idea how these things happened, and I need them to work right if I'm to be able to continue in school. I can't believe that there is a key function that I may have accidentally hit that would cause me to lose all of my text, but if something so ridiculous is in this program I sure need to know which key to pry from my keyboard to prevent it from happening again. By the way if you need to know I was doing this on my stupid dell inspiron 1545 laptop. Thank you, Joseph |

Disappearing text and other problems with word 2007
Ctrl+A will select all your text, and the next letter you type will replace
it. Ctrl+E will center it. Sounds like you might be well advised to make sure you're not pressing the Ctrl key inadvertently (but don't pry it off, because it's actually quite useful!). -- Suzanne S.

That is, I "save" every few minutes. That way, I can't lose more than a few minutes' worth of typing. If it is vital data, I save as soon as I have typed in the essential information. MaryL |
