Hi Rhonda: You said, "I don't understand why you would lose half of the book." My response: "Me neither." But I am here to tell you (and hopefully PDI staff), that this is still an increasingly reoccurring problem. It may not happen on all units consistently, but it sure as heck happens on mine on a regular basis. If I didn't back up once a day (sometimes twice if it's really important), I would surely be in a mess.
I can only offer this advice to Adel in the future, because it is quite possible that this problem is found in that unit as well. When I am saving a document, primarily with large documents like a book but even with smaller ones, be sure you do not touch ANYTHING, and I do mean anything. Touching a thumb key, cursor button, any single thing on the unit almost half of the time causes major truncation in my data. For instance, if I press space with e to exit from a file, and I think the file is done saving but it hasn't and hence press the thumb key to advance the display down the word processor, there is a 50% chance that one half to one third of the data in the file I've been closing has been lost. This applies to switching between applications, documents, or simply quitting the word processor. Can you tell I'm annoyed by this? *grin* Adel: backup frequently. In fact, I recommend that to everyone, regardless of whether your unit seems to have this problem or not. It can never hurt, and you never know when it might save your life! Laura
