Possibly because you are running 4.7, and maybe it happened a lot in 4.7.  When

Not very often because I'm usually writing directions for my students.

Do you know what the worksheet timeout is set to in your server (log in as the 
administrator, go to the Notebook settings page, and look at the Idle timeout)?

It is currently set at 120 seconds.  Is there any danger in making that number 
1000 or whatever?

That probably explains the problem. My guess is that if you spend more than 2 minutes without evaluating a cell, then try saving a text cell, it will mess up the worksheet. There's no problem with setting it to 1000 or whatever (I'd probably set it to more than that, like 3600, which would be an hour).

My guess is that will solve the problem.

Thanks,

Jason
