You have my condolences :)

One person I knew gave up on word when it suddenly lost half a dozen figures they no longer had the originals for. Never did figure out what the mechanism was, but you bet they became more disciplined about backups.

I'm sure it's much more reliable today, but once you had a long document with a bunch of figures, tables, and equations in it, Word started doing odd things. Including just refusing input for a couple of minutes with no message, then crashing. Good times.
