Hi Vicky
I doubt your file can be recovered. Maybe finding someone to help you setup
word to make an automatic backup in the background of the file might help.
If you get the "end program" message something has gone wrong and you won't
be able to save it before shutting down the computer. Boy can technology be
horrid if it doesn't work the way it's supposed to!
