Again thanks for the responses.

Well 2 down and 1 to go. Copying all but the last paragraph into a new
file
doesn't stop the freezing.

Am now browsing it from the Insert Tab on the Object pulldown, after
having
selecting the Text File item from the dialog that opens. Haven't seen
anything out of the ordinary - just what am I looking for at this point in
time?

The only times this document freezes is when adding characters, I can
browse
it without hassle.

Another characteristic of this file is that some characters are boldened
while others are in normal font. Sometimes the bold characters copy to
another file as bold characters sometimes as normal font.
