I lost a whole paragraph
Last night I was working on appendix for my company when all of a sudden my
word program just flashed and the paragraph I just spent almost an hour on typing just disappeared. Now I am also using End Note with word for the work that I am doing and from my word file I do need to add references.So as I type the info the references also go into End Note and when I checked that there were no changes.Also the other paragraphs in my file were not changed or damaged |

What does "flashed" mean?
Was there a momentary power outage? Why don't you Save every few minutes? Did you immediately try Undo?

To answer your question "What do you mean by flashed?" Well that is what I meant it just flashed meaning the office program just blinked or flashed , there was no power serge or outage and I have office to save every 5 min. and when I went to check for the Undo there was nothing to Undo ??????/? |

That's a misconception -- what Word is doing every 5 minutes is not
saving the document, but making a record of what is needed to recover your file in case of a crash. You need to actually press Ctrl-S (or equivalent) frequently in order for your file actually to be saved to your hard drive. It sounds like there was some sort of momentary electrical event that was enough to disrupt the RAM and lose whatever hadn't been saved. On Aug 2, 9:39*am, omega4enigma wrote: "Peter T.
