Hi there I lost a file and can only access a pdf copy I made. Any chance I can get it back without having to reformat? Amiee

You may be able to select the text in the PDF and paste it into OpenOffice Writer. You will have to do a certain amount of reformatting.

If you were using Styles correctly it would probably be very easy.
