Hi ?B?UGF2ZWw=?=,

I feel that the problem is connected with the SpellChecker: it checks
spelling endlessly! The indicator shows that this process has finished, but
the processor still works. When I turn the checker off, the processor gets
free. Can it also be connected with the damaged structure of the document?

Definitely

When I insert the file into a new document as you suggested, the problem
REMAINS.

OK, here are a couple of variations on the theme

1. Select everything up to the last paragraph mark (Ctrl+A, Shift+Left Arrow).
Copy. Paste into a new document.

2. Save the file as a web page, to RTF format, to Word 6/95 format. Close. Now
open such a file then save as a Word document. Close. Open again. Do the
problems persist, or have they been eradicated? (Note: the equations may be
lost as editable equations in some of these scenarios, but they will help us
determine if there is damage, and how it can be eliminated.)
