Way Too Much Corruption

2006-11-20 Thread Pinkham, Jim
I have a folder with three versions of a manual (in subfolders) replete with conditional text, insets, and all the marvels of single sourcing. I haven't worked on these files for about 6 weeks. This morning all of them are coming up as corrupt, including the subfolders and the backups. Any ideas

If it's all the files in the project, that's odd. I think we'd need some more info to know what the best starting point would be for narrowing down a cause and/or fix. Are you on Mac or Windows? Have you copied the files to/from other drives since the last time you worked in them? I'm asking,
