Are you using Time Machine? Otherwise no other help.
no unfortunately. Thanks for the reply.
TextEdit/Preferences/New Document - Rich Text selected?
Open & Save/When Opening a file - the 2 settings unchecked?
Did you make ANY other backups at all? How about an earlier copy?
If not, I highly suggest you take this as a cautionary warning (but clearly a disaster for you) and either obtain a separate storage drive to set up Time Machine on (it's ridiculously easy), or at least keep a duplicate copy of important docs you're working on every time you make major changes.
Don't kick yourself; It's happened to everyone at one point or another.
