Either you're using them incorrectly or it's not there anymore. Did you
check the recycle bin? In any case, it's only 8 pages, and you should still
have all your notes and outlines, maybe even a rough draft or two, so it
should be a cinch to rewrite.

Hi Vanessa,

You should copy to floppy in the future to prevent just such a =
disaster.....

If you can't find it, and there is a chance you deleted it (and it's not =
in the Recycle Bin), then this file recovery utility may help if it has =
not been overwritten:

A search trick: Since you know what the file extension is, search all =
drives for *.extention. If the file was accidentally renamed, this may =
help locate it. I think WordPerfect uses .wpd, so you'd look for *.wpd.
