entire Document turned into stars emergency!


Question

I am in a bit of a panic right now. Was working on a document on a mac and had been saving regularly. upon my last save, the mac turned the entire document into stars. I can't attach the file but all the words are basically replaced by *******.... I don't understand why this happened but it has happened before.

What can I do?

I see this link http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/document-turned-into-asterisks/e07e602d-8efd-488b-80ea-b30631c61def?tab=MoreHelp

am i really out of luck?

All I can suggest is to download a file recovery app and see if an older copy of the document still exists on the hard disk.

Otherwise, turn on the backup feature, or a backup software which will backup changes in real time.
