[Finale] Help with weird layout problem

[Lori Archer Sutherland]

I was working on a score last night in Fin2K3 (Windows) and ran into a 
problem.  The score is normally 16 pages on legal size paper.  But 
something happened (no clue as to what) to cause the music to "expand" and 
push it way past 16 pages. Not only that, but the music on pg. 17+ is 
*huge*.  It also doesn't take the piece all the way to the end; it stops on 
page twenty-something but I know there's more to it.  Scroll view seems to 
be okay; page view is what's wacky.

So I copied and pasted everything into a new document. Things seemed okay, 
though I had to do a bit of editing with dynamic markings and such.  Well, 
today I'm working again, and the same type of thing happened.  After 
re-editing last night, I was smart enough to save the new "clean" copy on a 
floppy, so at least I have a backup.  Too bad I lost the bit of work I did 
today.  Going back in the undo list as far as possible didn't do any good.

Any thoughts on what causes this?  I'm a novice user - I know just enough 
to be dangerous :)  I hope I've made sense - please ask questions for 
clarification.  Would it have anything to do with the music spacing and 
such?  I'm trying to think of what I did on both sessions - general 
copy/paste and implode music come to mind.  I'm at a loss.  I'd like to be 
able to finish the score, but I'm leery of doing anything fearing it will 
be all for naught.

Thanks in advance for any help -
Lori Sutherland
