For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Something strange just happened to one of my word docs.
I was working on a doc, and click the close button. Because I hadn't saved it, I got the typical "Do you want to save your changes" prompt. I clicked yes. I came back to the doc a few minutes later and opened it. It now looks like a plain text file. All of the styles are gone, the tables are gone. The graphics are gone. It's looks like a happy little text file with a DOC file extension.
This thing is 40 pages long. I don't want to have to reformat and place everything back into their tables. Does anyone know how I can avoid this? Does anyone know what might have happened? I get the feeling that Word somehow deleted/ignored its properties tables when I saved.
Please respond directly to my email if you can. I've been having trouble viewing the digests.
