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.

What I do is to set up a new document, save it, _and then_ work. At least I try to - I've done the 'what was this where should it go' dance too often.

I'm very organised about where I save my files. I have subject-work directories rather than keeping things in the work directories designated for the programme. I can't understand people who just hit save and trust that the programme puts it somewhere sensible. That way lies madness.
