Debby, I've noticed those files before. I didn't even think about trying that. Thankfully, as stated in a message from earlier today, that file was magically back to normal this morning.

Hi Melissa and everyone!I'm responding to your post again because I forwarded your message to my husband, Bruce to see if he had heard of this problem. I will share what he said, since it might benefit someone in the future or you can try it, even though you probably have gotten quite a ways into starting over proofreading that book.Bruce wrote: Hi Deb:While I can't say why the remaining file has such strange text in it, she might want to see if the (normally hidden) temp file can still be found in the same directory where the original file she was working on is located. Since this temp file is normally hidden by Windows, she will have to enable the "show hidden files" option. Once this is done, she should look for file names that begin with the ~ character and end with the .tmp extension (assuming file extensions are made visible).Hope this helps. Love:<3 .....Bruce I hope this information is helpful, (smile). Debby At 11:59 AM 5/15/2010, Melissa Smith wroteI was doing some proofing this morning. I was about half way through this book. All of a sudden my screen read quit talking. I started narrator, to get out of the pickle. Well, I opened the Windows Task Manager, and was going to end Window-Eyes, so I could reopen it and continue. I couldn't find it in the list. I went back into Word and saved the file, and closed it, trying to get out of everything and see what was going on. It saved fine. Once I got Window-Eyes running again, and reopened the file I was proofing, there were strange things in the file. It was still the 228 pages of the original file, but none of the original text was there, as far as I could tell, anyways. All I could hear was something about MakeYourMoveProofingCopy.rtf running and Make Your Move running followed by several blank lines, a page break, several blank lines, and something about the cpu usage. Did I totally lose my work? I have the original file, and can start over, but I would really, really prefer not to. Any ideas what happened, and what, if anything I can do to fix it?Thanks, -- Melissa Smith To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
