Thanks for the comment. But yes I do have word recover and the first think I
did was re-save the document, and I do have auto-recover but neither of them
worked, I also tried to close and re-open the document several times but tha
did not work. Everythin was in Times New Roman. I lost at least four or five
key paragraphs. I took a gander at a few forums that sounded a bit similar to
what I had but nothing seemed to really fit. It is all square zeros and your
seldom numbers. I am upset at the fact that I lost so many paragraphs but at
the fact that I have due dates to meet I just re-made the paragraphs even
though they do not fit the same way I had them to begin with. But I still
want to see if I could recover the text. Because I have not messed with the
orginal document for since it messed up.
