Re: Blank Documents

With so very little to go on, my guess is that she is starting a paragraph
or sentence with an upper case A, but instead of pressing Shift+a, she is
pressing Control+a (SelectAll) and the next character she presses (a space)
replaces the whole document. She then panics and saves the virtually empty
document.
