My ex-wife wrote an essay and saved it. After saving everything went blank.
When opened with "notepad" it shows the usual garble, but shows that
something is there. Anyone kknow what happened.
 
Just "save" and it saved in "documents". It appears everything is gone. I
just don't understand what could have happened.
 
How is she reopening it? From the MRU list on the File menu or some other
way? Is there a chance she's selecting the wrong file (a temp file,
shortcut, or something else)?

After everything disappeared she tried to open it from the File Menu. That's
when she called me. I had her try to open it from documents also. It opens
but there is nothing there that she saved. I would imagine she did something
wrong, but just thought I'd see if it could happen. She said she saved it
just like all her other school documants.

Thanks for the help, btw.
 
Did she at any point open it from an email attachment or from a removable
drive?
