Default Not able to open 512MB word document

When you say you've changed the type from rtf to doc and to txt, do you mean
you've changed the file extension, or that you've opened the document and
used 'Save As' to save as a different format?

If you changed the file extension, what was it to start with?

there are about 10 JPEG images in that word document
So, are you saying that the document is corrupt, because i ve change the
document type from rtf to doc, to txt also, but it is showing as the same
size i.e. 512MB
