Zeros or "O" as text
I have been writing a novel for some time now and have always saved my document to my HD and to a USB stick under 3 different names. This has worked out well for the past several weeks. There are about 245 pages to the story
Recently I went to open the document after letting it sit for a few weeks and found that pages 1-84 were just fine. However pages 85-245 were just rows of zeros or Os.
I'd copy and paste a sample, but they do not seem to want to copy and past. Also there is a footer on each page that seems to be 10 x the page number plus a series of the same number:
850 0000850850850
for page 85.
Worst of all, when I opened the other copies of the document they are all similar. I must of saved a bad copy and Sved As the other files as well, as I usually do.
Does anyone have any idea what may have happened or how I can recover it, if possible? Any help is appreciated.
See sample Doc attached.
Thanks
