Story problems..
Dec. 10th, 2006 11:25 amThere's a Captain Jack story I plan to post tonight or tomorrow, and I've been having problems with it. Not creative problems, technical problems. Can someone who knows more about computer software than I do maybe offer some advice?
I wrote this story in WordPerfect, which is my favourite program to write with for numerous reasons. Saved it as an .rtf file and sent it to my wonderful beta-reader,

So I went back to it a week or so ago and discovered, to my horror, that when I opened the story there were no words in the file. Luckily I still had the betaed copy from

This morning, once again, my copied file was empty.
So what happened? Too much switching between .rtf, Word, and WordPerfect?
I have one more proofreading and revision to do, and then I'll post it. Believe me, I have many copies of it now, in several formats, including one online. Hah! I'll nail that sucker yet.
But I'd like to know what I did wrong, so I can never do it again.
