Have you tried opening the automatic backup document (the one that begins with a $ followed by your file name) using wordpad or some other text editor. &nbsp;You might at least be able to get your text back that way.<br />
<br />
Also, I am wondering if the crash happened as part of writing out &nbsp;to the automatic backup document. &nbsp;If the crash came in the middle of the backup being made, I would guess that you are out of luck. &nbsp;Even Norton Utilities, I'm told, cannot recover a file that is trashed by overwriting it with a bad file that has the same name.<br />

If you don't have a good Virus scanner (such as Norton or McAffee), I'd get one immediately. &nbsp;McAffee costs only $20 for the basic edition.<br />
