Hi Gary,
I’ve neer had that occur here. You might have highlighted it by accident
with the trackpad and deleted it. I would use the, revert to, option form the
file menu and choose, browse all versions. then, use the window chooser command
to go to the version history controls. Interact with the slider and use the
VO-right arrow to pick a date you know the document was all there. Stop
interacting and use the window chooser menu to switch to the document. If it’s
all there, go back to the version history controls and choose, revert, to go
back to that version.
Take Care

Hi. The strangest thing just happened. I had been keeping a journal on my
mac for a few weeks just to get practice using text edit. I was getting
ready to continue writing this morning and typed function key, vo, right
arrow which I thought would take me to the end of the text. I then noticed
that my entire text had completely disappeared except for the first few words
which had been at the beginning of the text. I exited the document without
saving it, and reopened it only to find that it was the same. The entire
several pages of text had disappeared. Where could it have gone? This makes
me think that maybe the mac isn’t such a good idea after all if text can just
disappear into the air like this. Please forgive my dramatics, but I just
don’t understand what I could have done. Any ideas would be appreciated.
