  1. Prevent lost text?


    I've done this several times. I'm typing in notepad and somehow I clicked something that highlighted the whole paragraph I've been typing, and because I'm typing I type and the paragraph's gone. I instantly hit ctrl-Z, but all that does is toggle the last few words I've written on and off. Everything I actually typed is gone. Is there any way to stop this?

    Lost text

    Hi Martha,





    There are a lot of possible factor for a text or a
    word document to be lost. To isolate the issue, I have some questions for you:




    • What application did you use to create the text document?

    • Were there any changes made before the text was lost?

    • Were there any recent application installed?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?



    We'll be waiting for your response.



    Regards.

    Prevent lost text?

    List of tooltip texts

    • Do not translate the IDS_ strings, only what's inside the "s
    • \n is a newline character that acts like "return" is pressed. so text\n\ntext2 adds a blank line between "text" and "text2"
    • %s is replaced by some inserted text, you may move the %s to other positions within the text, but if multiple %s are present they will be inserted in the same order in all languages
