I'm sorry to hear that. If you want to email me the file, I can see if there's any way to recover it. It may be that the font isn't there any more or the header got corrupted or something crazy like that. I can look at the actual binary contents and see if there's anything there. The fact that the characters seem to still be there, but just appear as spaces is actually a good sign.

That's why I couldn't figure out how to help her, the file still showed as the same size even though it looked like no data was in it.

And it still shows all the stats. It's says it's a little over 184k words, a little over 2500 lines...I mean, it's absolutely confusing. I did everything I could think of to recover it.

Seriously? It might be possible to recover it? *glomps* If it is, you have my undying gratitude and love and loyalty FOREVER. Unfortunately, I'm at work at the moment. I'll email it once I get home. THANK YOU!

I won't have a chance to look at it until tomorrow night anyway. I don't want to get your hopes up, but the fact that it's the same size as the old file is a good sign. I'd give it a 50% chance I can recover something. Maybe the text if not the formatting. But that's better than nothing. :P

Any chance is better than none and I won't get my hopes up (or try not to). And yes, even if it's just the text, that would...well. Even if it's a giant block with no spaces at all, that's loads better than what I have now. Thank you. I'll email it when I get home.

By the way, my email is on facebook if you don't have it.
