I’m still trying to figure out EXACTLY how I lost it. I was preparing it for printing, reducing it to half-sheet size so I could take it to Kinko’s for binding (around $5 a copy) and the next thing I knew, it was gone. Poof. Blank pages staring at me.
All that work...four months worth...for nothing.
If it was in Word, one thing that happens to me once in a long while is I’ll hit Ctrl-A Ctrl-D... and it’s gone. (Unless you hit Ctrl-Z to restore it.)
