Hi there You have my condolences on that because this is happened to me too. In my case, my latest disaster happened in pages. Do you have a time machine backup? At least in Mavericks, the ability to get previous versionwas somewhat limited. Sometimes you can get the last one opened by going into the file menu and trying from there. But it doesn't always get what you want. I haven't tried it yet in Yosemite to see if it's better. Gigi
