I need some help...I just don't understand what happened to my file! [View all]

I have a file for the 2 page contents listing for my upcoming book that I am self publishing. I went to open it and saw blank pages. My wp was telling me the document was 66 pages long! I found the 2 contents pages two thirds of the way that I scrolled down. How did THAT happen? I managed to get the two contents pages down to the end of the document so I could simply print out pp.65 and 66.

I am totally mystified as to how this could have happened.

How can I simply delete the blank pages? And why did my file so mysteriously change in the first place?It's just me and hubby in this household and he never looks at my files.

With that many pages- copy and paste your 2 pages in a new text doc TexasProgresive Apr 2018 #1
