Apple to the rescue....again!!
Thanks Ray, Rob and Tim for your input.
I forgot to mention that all of the formatting was removed as well -
everything was changed to Times Roman 12 point. I also omitted that
the Word file was saved on a USB thumb drive.
But, last night I thought I would try Pages. It opened the Word file
complete with tables and formatting and I saved it as a .doc Word
document and everything is back the way it was.
I would not normally use Word for such a big document, having bought a
copy of Adobe InDesign, but this document is a set of notes for TAFE
and other lecturers need access to it and TAFE is PC only using Word
2007 , which is one of the worst pieces of software ever inflicted on
the human race.
Thanks again... I can get back to work now.

I have just opened a book I have been revising in Word. A message
came up saying there was some corruption but it managed to open it.
However, the 135 pages has blown out to 465 because Word has lost
all the tables so the info in the tables has been put one line under
another and double spaced.
Is there some way I could go revert to the last saved version? If
so, it would save me a huge amount of work of course. And no, I
don't have a backup copy.
