Hi Jackie,

 

I'm not sure why that's happening but I do know for a fact that it's a known

issue that "track changes" is one of the number one causes of document

corruption. If you have to use track changes, ALWAYS make a backup copy of

the document because sooner or later the corruption usually sets in.

Otherwise, turn off track changes in the format menu I think and also make
sure that in your view menu, toolbars that only the format bar and status
bar are checked and no other.

You can also in the view menu make sure that markup isn't on either, if it
is then just hit enter key on it to turn it off.

 

Paul.

Subject: [vip_students] vanishing sentences

 

    Hey all 

 

Have a tricky and strange one. I'm currently doing a creative writing course
with Kilroys College and today whilst finishing a story, sentences suddenly
started disappearing. I first thought I hadn't saved it but the second time
I started writing the same piece again,  I hit save but  again it
disappeared. I  red the story to ensure the curser hadn't moved up and that
the piece I wrote was somewhere else but no it was gone, I tried three times
to write it and all three times it  vanished. I'm baffled as the story was
getting interesting and I'd like to finish it but worried that it will
happen for the fourth time. 

 

hope someone can shed some light on this very strange one.

from

 

a baffled Jackie
