"The document name or path is not valid" with RTF & Word 2000 (sol
I have just solved a tricky problem so I figured I could just post the
solution here for information and archive purposes. Problem: I had a .doc file that I converted to RTF with Word 2000. When I opened the .rtf file, I would have a "The document name or path is not valid" error message. I have searched for this problem in newgroups and in Microsoft KB with no success. The KB224016 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224016) was not of any help. The solution was: There was a corrupted FILENAME field in the document's footer. The field code was "{ FILENAME /* MERGEFORMAT }", with two spaces between "FILENAME" and "/*" instead of one. This one was hard to figure out I hope this will eventually help somebody.

footer. The field code was "{ FILENAME /* MERGEFORMAT }", with two spaces between "FILENAME" and "/*" instead of one. This one was hard to figure out Err... sorry, I was wrong. It was not the solution. Actually the file was corrupted. The corrupted part was a page number field in the footer, and I could not delete it in Word. I tried to save it as HTML then back to Word format (as said in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm) but it did not help. I had to edit the HTML to delete the corrupted field. |
