Default Problems opening Word 2000 docs with Word 2003

My company has Word 2000 and Word 2003. I have 2003 on my computer. When I
open some documents that were saved in Word 2000, I get the message: "Word
was unable to read this docuemnt. It may be corrupt..."

Folks with Word 200 can open the document without issue. If they save as
RTF, I can open it as well. Has anyone seen this problem?

corrupt" error message when you open a document in Word 2003
