Unfortunately not. I can't even get my previous file to compile properly
as I've renumbered the footnotes in an attempt to get it working
properly, and I've also closed and restarted emacs, which destroyed any
ability to undo my actions.

However I'm now able to use the whole file, after restoring from backup,
without removing any sections into another file, so I can still work on
it.

But if it does happen again then I'll be able to give a better report.

Thanks
Sharon.
