 think I touched a key (italics how?) shft or fn or ctrl to make the pages disappear. 

 

Will these pages be sitting somewhere else? not in bin.  I can only go to Version history and restore an old shorter version but that deletes the latest I should think if it is lurking somewhere.

Thanks or that link, an interesting and perhaps useful site but unfortunately it didn't help my issue.

Aw man, sorry to hear that. It had worked for my wife so I thought I mention it.

 

Hopefully someone else with another idea or two will chime in here soon.

Starting to sound like a bit of a SPAM thread to me. I'm out.
