RE: Urgent---> Lost or Deleted Section in OneNote Notebook

Chiron,
I know this is an old posting, but maybe you can help me. I actually
deleted a Section of a Notebook (I was working too fast and intended to
delete only a page...). You said in your posting that it required a confirm
to delete; I didn't get that prompt, the tab simply vanished! Any tips on
how to get it back? I created the notebook today and put a considerable
amount of information in it without exiting OneNote, so there's no back-up.
If OneNote 2007 allows you to simply delete things and never get them back
(no Undo, nothing), I'll have to reconsider using it...
Thanks for your help,
JM
