Thanks Shauna
Tried the HTML method. No luck. Tried deleting and reinstalling printer
driver. No luck.
Further experiments this morning show the problem to be completely
repeatable, in detail:
If I toggle on 'display changes' to an edited document and then toggle off
again, some of the text disappears from the screen (and the page count
changes to a lower figure than previously (of course I'm not comparing the
page count with 'display on' to the count with it off! I mean the count with
'off' is different to the count with 'off' before trying the
toggle/untoggle). Printing the pages around where the lost stuff is gives an
overprinted garbage result. Saving the apparently corrupted file (as .doc)
and then reloading it removes the problem - ie the file itself appears OK).
Any more ideas?

Hi aalaan
1. Microsoft is in North Ryde:

2. If you're experiencing a problem with just one document, then it's
almost certainly a problem with that document, not a wholesale bug in Word
that affects everyone with Windows 2000. Try saving the document as an
HTML file, then close Word, re-open and open the document. Or, try the
other suggestions at
How can I recover a corrupt document or template - and why did it become
corrupt?

3. The printer driver has an enormous effect on the way that Word displays
documents. Word constantly interrogates the printer driver to determine
what the printer is capable of (eg how close to the edge of the page can
it print). Word is also very heavy on graphic display, and old or wrong
graphic drivers cause many of the problems people experience with Word.
Hope this helps.
