Yep they lost the page breaks, line spacing, indents and font setting but the text
was unharmed
I'm just glad they got the file back, it was a paper (3-5 pages) that they needed
the original copy of
the professor marked up the printed copy and the only original was on that floppy
(I hope they leaned a lesson about backups)
Mind you in a text file all that code at the top is filled with actual data rather
than formatting code, so a text file would have lost data
But better to get all or part of the text and redo the formatting than to retype
the entire thing
