My text disappeared while typing. Where is it?
While typing my fingers hit a key in the bottom row, like Ctrl or Alt. All
my type disappeared, tho the directory filename still lists 263 kb as the file size. So I don't think it's all lost, just not visible when I open the file. It was a big file and the only version I can go back to is about one-third of the complete file. |

Open the document, Ctrl+A and make the font color black. If that doesn't
work, Ctrl+A, Format--Font and make sure Hidden is not checked. That's about all I can think of. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Grandpa Elmo" wrote in message news  While typing my fingers hit a key in the bottom row, like Ctrl or Alt.

More than likely, however, Grandpa pressed Ctrl+A, then wiped out the entire
document with the next key he pressed. -- Suzanne S.

I figured that probably wasn't the case this time since his file is
267KB---tho it usually is. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I believe that's probably what happened and the type is gone forever. I'll just have to rework it. I don't usually use the CTRL commands and, with my eyes on my original copy, I didn't see the effect of CTRL+A on the screen and my continued typing wiped it all out. Thanks again for the help. |
