I can't open a file in word 2003 that was created in word 2000
When I attempt to open this file it says word experienced an error trying to
open this file, try one of the following: Check the file permissions Make sure there is sufficient memory Open file with text recovery converter I have tried opening through text recovery but all the formatting etc is removed and it is a 25 page document that I REALLY don't want to have to reformat if I don't have to - any suggestions???? |

'Text recovery' means exactly that -- recover the *text* from a file. It's a
last resort if the file is otherwise corrupt, which is what the error message suggests. Was this file saved directly to a floppy disk on the W2000 machine? If so, try copying the file to your hard disk first and then opening it; but you're probably out of luck. "Fiona" wrote in message ...

Have you tried using the Open and Repair option? In Word, click
on File | Open, browse to your file, click on the little black downward-pointing triangle at the right end of the Open button, and choose Open and Repair.
