Corrupt file

S

Soriah

A document, which has many graphics and pictures, was created in Word 2000
and opens in that program with no problems; however, whenever I try to open
the same document in Word XP (2003) I get a message saying "Word cannot open
this file. It may be corrupt." The message then says to try to open and
repair the file (which I cannot do), or open the file using Text Recovery
converter. The converter does open the document, however it takes out all of
the formatting. Is there any way I can open this document with all its
formatting in XP instead of opening in 2000?

If you still have access to a copy of Word 2000, save the document in
RTF and try to open that in Word 2003.
