Corrupt Document (Word 2000)

[Chris]

Hi
I have inherited a document with various sections, styles
and an auto-contents list, the format of which I have to
follow. Upon opening the document word advises that
it "may be corrupt" and that I should copy and paste into
a new document. Once I open the document however, it
appears to function and print without any problems.

Nevertheless I have tried the copy & paste approach, both
with and without the auto contents list, and each time I
am advised that the new document may also be corrupt! Can
anybody advise which elements within the document might be
causing this warning? Any ways to eliminate it?

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,

Try copying everything but the final paragraph mark (¶).
