Hi :) I've no idea why it happened. I don't think anyone else has reported anything similar yet. Generally it's worth keeping back-ups whatever program you are using.
I tend to add a "version number" to the end of files and occasionally increase that number so that i can always go back to an earlier version (just in case i stuff up or need something from an earlier version). I try to keep it simple so i get file-names such as Diwali-Poster-2013-v1 Diwali-Poster-2013-v2 Also i tend to keep artwork, logos, and old versions in a sub-folder near the document jic everything goes horribly wrong. Occasionally i go through and just delete all those sub-folders (sometimes quickly checking through them first jic there is something interesting lurking away in there (but my OS makes that really easy)) Tim (Kracked Press) idea of doing such frequent saves and back-ups doesn't suit me at all! If i set the option it's for around 20-30 mins or even longer but usually i try to switch that off and just remember to do my own frequent saves. We are all different though and what suits me doesn't suit everyone! Diversity breeds serendipity.
