It sounds like you may have inadvertently hit ctrl+A which will select everything in the document and then pressing the next key replaces everything with whatever that key was.
If you still have the document open, click on Undo (more than once might be necessary) and everything that you deleted should be reinstated. If you saved the document and then closed it, I am afraid that all of your previous work might be gone unless
you had the option to Always create a backup copy turned on in which case there should be a file named "backup of [document name].wbk
-- Hope this helps.

I have been keeping a diary for 3 weeks re my holiday in Hawaii, I had at least 6 pages saved and each day all pages came up ok, this morning all was ok but as I started typing, about 1 paragraph in, the whole previous 6 pages disappeared, this
happenned as a new page started and the LH corner showed Page 1 of 1, I am using an acer aspire one XP on WiFi, have tried all the recovery info from google I can understand [ not too bright on computer use], I do know I did not hit any key to cause
this, can I recover this lost data?.............MAL
