It's a corrupt file.
Do you still have Office 2004 installed? If so, open the file there and do
a Maggie on it. If not, send me the file and I will try to fix it for you.
1) Create a new blank document
2) Carefully select all of the text in the bad document EXCEPT the last
paragraph mark
3) Copy it.
4) Paste in the new document.
5) Save under a new file name and close all, then re-open.
This technique for de-corrupting is known as "Doing a 'Maggie'", after
Margaret Secara from the Word PC-L mailing list who first publicised the
technique.
Hope this helps
Every time I use Word Mac 2008 to open a recent word file produced with Word
Mac 2004, WM 2008 quits!
What do I do, plz?
Tks
Paulo
