RE: corrupt word doc fix?

["Kathy Jacobs" <jacobskl -at- jacobs -dot- coxatwork -dot- com>]

Carol,

When you pasted the file contents into a new file, did you include the
last paragraph mark?  If so, try it again without the final paragraph
mark and see if the corruption message goes away.

Another option is to save the file as a new RTF document and see if that
conversion gets rid of the corrupt information.  IF it does, then
re-save the RTF as a Word document and you should be good to go again.

One last option I can offer is to open the document with StarOffice,
which will translate the document to an older version of Word.  This
will also (usually) strip the corrupt information out.  However, be
forewarned that this option will also get rid of some of your
formatting.

Subject: corrupt word doc fix?


Hi, I'm getting a message "this document may be corrupt" when I try to
open 
a particular Word document. I tried the suggestion of pasting the
contents 
into a new file but keep getting the corrupt message. I've run a
virus-scan 
but found nothing in that area.

Any suggestions?

-thanks,
Carol Chung
