    Okay, I just got my laptop back recently and I haven't found my office disk yet, so I'm doing scouting reports on wordpad. I just finished half of a Rockets game last night (it took like 5 hours) and saved and all. I open up the file today and it's only a few text lines. Argh!!!! :mad: I saved it under .rtf

    I figured out what happened. I copy and pasted a picture from paint onto the screen, and everything below the picture disappeared. I've retested the scenario, and every time i create a wordpad file and put a picture in there, everything below the picture (including the picture itself) will be deleted after i save, close, and reopen.

    Am I screwed?

    Unless the text is behind the graphic, you might be scheduling another 5 hours. Try moving the graphic.

    The only thing I can think of is if you save periodically and it might be in a different restore point. I've never used restore point personally, but it has saved a few people that I know.

    Try opening the file with notepad, you should be able to tell if the text is there at all.

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm screwed though..tried both things. It's okay...was a Mavs Rockets game, but now that Yao is back, I guess I'll do another game.
