Damn Word

Had a major panic last night when I was writing Chapter 2 of the AU. I pressed something in Word and the whole thing disappeared. I freaked I have to admit. After messing a bit I saw that I could highlight the words, the paragraphs showed up as black blocks, but I couldn't paste into a new document or anything. Leading to one frantic mail to Sentinel Angst, where I knew someone would have an idea. I did manage to get it pasted into notepad eventually and Word back to normal when I rebooted the computer. But I still lost the last page that I did before autosave had kicked in. I hate Word sometimes :(

Do you remember when I lost *all* of BPS???

Man do I ever! That was a nightmare, I'm just glad that I'd saved them.

You're right, at times computers are the devil's spawn. I adore Blue2 but god, he can piss me off sometimes.
