I know it is no comfort, Desperate, but in my computer lab I have a big coloured sign that says (in lovely WordArt): There are two kinds of people who use computers: Those who have lost important data files, and Those who will lose important data files. The big point is - learn from it, and never, ever make the same mistake again. I tell my students, when they commence a document or file - regardless of the software - to immediately save it with the required filename. Then, every paragraph, item, object or whatever the document comprises, to just hit the "Save" button. Get the habit: Save early - save often. And read Suzanne's link about auto-saves. Good luck on resurrecting or re-doing your paper. Paddy
