close Word and delete all files found on Start=Search and looking for
~$*.*;*.tmp as the name string then restarting Word." See alsohttp://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm

Thankyou so much for this, I have just remoted into one of the users
machines, and did the work around, it recovered the document, and
printed it out
correctly on an alternative printer.
