Hi !

I have one Word 2002 document with 58 pages. All pages I formatted with my
own style. Everythig was finished and then I tried to play littlebit with
autoforrmating !:-(( ... sudenly I made a big mistake - I saved the document
with word automatic text formating. Is it posibble somehow to come back to
previous forrmating after when the file has been already saved?? some
history or something...some tool????

Please help me - otherwise I will have to make formating of my text from
begining !

Best regards,
Sasa

If you did NOT close the document, you can use Undo to undo the changes made
by the auto formatting.

If you closed the document and you did NOT have the "Always create backup
copy" box checked under Tools>Options>Save, then you will have to start from
scratch.

Hope this helps.

Once you close the document saved changes are permanent. You can reset the
formatting by applying a body text style throughout, but you will have to
format headings etc by applying styles as appropriate. Had you not closed
the document you could have used 'undo' (CTRL+Z) to reverse the changes.
