I just lost three scenes from the new ending of 'Empire of Dust' with a single careless click. All today's work, in fact. I thought I had Word set to save automatically every ten minutes... in fact I did... so WTF is it?

I hate bloody Microshaft. (Okay, it's my fault, but I still hate bloody Microshaft!)

Nuff said.

If anybody has a magic retrieval spell please let me know.

As an alternative for writing, take a look at OpenOffice (freeware) http://openoffice.org

Dan, thanks anyway, but we've had this conversation before on rasfc... I have a perfectly good alternative to Word in Lotus Smartsuite, which I adore. I'm not looking for yet another set of programmes. The whole point of using Word was to try and get myself into the habit since everyone else on the planet seems to use it.

If I give in and hurl Word at the wall I'll go back, with pleasure, to Lotus Word-Pro which does everything Word does, but more intuitively and for a minute fraction of the price (paid long ago).

I think trying to learn yet another word processing programme - however good - would be a last straw for this camel's back.
