As the other guy said, have you ever heard of a backup? I would never attempt
to modify an important document with a program I had never even tried before.
I use AbiWord for almost all my word processing needs (I'm a student, so all I
really need it for is to write papers and such, nothing fancy), and haven't had
that problem - but I've never opened a 300K document with it either.
But you must surely have SOME other copy of that document, don't you?
