Hi Mark

I know this must be very frustrating for you. It sounds like the file is
trashed and you will be lucky to recover your text - the formatting and
everything else is gone.

Next time, turn on the preference item that creates a backup copy of the
file every time you work on it.

Wish I could be more helpful.

Good luck
