Dear Flist -

I had 4k written of my serpentinelion fic today.

When I went to save it tonight? Word crashed and now? The document opens up with boxes instead of text and then proceeds to crash word. It won't allow me to open it with wordpad and when I sent it to someone else, it crashed their word as well.

Please, I know alot of you guys are amazing computer people... please tell me there is some way of recovering this document. Please. I'm seriously borderline tears right now. It took me all day to write that 4k. I only had three more scenes to write and then I was done.

Have you ever used Open Office? It's a free download, and although I have no idea about its recovery powers, it might be worth a shot. Or, if you don't want to download it it, if you want to e-mail it to me and I can try opening it with Open Office, I'd be more than happy to give it a shot. *squeeze*

i have open office and tried a few things with wook's doc last night and managed to recover a few sentences, but the rest was still symbols.
