It was in Word. I did everything I knew to restore it, as well as buy a recovery program that I couldn’t afford. Zilch.
I DID print out the first seven chapters before I ran out of ink, but that doesn’t do me much good. I’ll either have to scan them (60 pages) or just start all over again and print as I go for a hard copy. Which is probably what I’ll do, in addition to saving it in several places. Like, maybe, emailing it to me.
*sigh*
So sorry.
