You most certainly will!
You should never save to or open files from a floppy disc. It is the most common cause of document corruption. Copy the files to the hard drive and if necessary try the repair on open option (little arrow next to the open button in the file open dialog). If you are lucky you will be able to recover the documents. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Larni wrote: I was using Microsoft 2000.
