that's wild. My experience editing word documents is that you have to have a dozen backups to be sure not to loose something due to basic keyboard / mouse manipulation mistake. I wonder what is their secret.

Try updating your version of Word, it sounds like you’re having some rather severe technical issues.

It's not a problem with word, it's a problem with anything that allows keyboard input. There's not a week where I don't see a mistakenly removed line for instance when checking a diff before commiting.
