Gee Mike, I really am sorry to hear that.
I guess even 100 pages on MS Word will take a whole lot of work?
I wouldn't cast any aspersions on MS Word, of course, but it might be
as well to remember when you do your re-typing that even the best of
systems can have a power glitch etc., and to save your file
frequently?

Anyway, chin up, back to work, eh?  - and do post a URL when your
magnum-opus is up there in bright lights - I'm sure that I speak for
all your fans when I say that we look forward to reading it:-)
