Ouch! I just checked that box on 2 machines downstairs as i happened to be setting them both up at the time. I tend to find it much easier to re-write something than it was to write it first time although sometimes i miss some fluky elegance. Usually tho, 2nd time seems to be better for me and somehow my fingers magically remember key phrases i was pleased with. I hope it works that way for you too.

"Always create a backup file" was not checked, but I see that "Save Auto recovery information" was. Yet the recovered document was extremely old. I've now checked the other option -- to back up -- and am trying to recreate my work. Autorecovery didn't seem to work for some reason.
