help with pages

has any one ever lost a document done on pages? I had the select all feature on to adjust spacing and then I went to the top of the page on the computer and wanted to have the pages numbered. when i pushed the button, the whole document disappeared! Is there any way to recover?

Pages is Hiding All of My Text I was editing a document that I had previously copy & pasted from a Word document. All I remember was trying to hit back space in order align a certain text, but it didn't, so I pressed several more times & that's when it happened. All of my work seemed to get erased. I clicked undo, which made it reappear, I kept typing, but had to hit backspace again. When I did that, everything erased again. I hot undo one more time. This time, just by typing all my text erased. I hightailed the text and apparently, it's still there just hidden. Now every time I open ANY Pages document or template, all of the text is hidden. What happened & how can I fix this?

Go File > Open Recent, and look for the file name in the Recent list.

Do a Spotlight search for the file.

Check in Time Machine for a recent version of the file.

Check iCloud to see if you had saved it there.
