Hi ?B?Ymx1Y2tleQ==?=,

I finished creating a Word document and was in the process of formating a
(400k) graphic when the doc froze. I had saved it just after adding the
graphic. Any tips on how to retreive my doc?

You can't open the file you saved?

Which version of Word?

Hi ?B?QmlsbCBMdWNrZXk=?=,

The file opens, but as soon as it does so, freezes. I am using Word in the
Office XP suite.

That's not good sigh.

How about using Insert/File to bring it into another document? Does that also
freeze?

If it does, then the only thing you'll be able to do is to recover the text. In
File/Open, there's a file type named "Recover text from any document" you can
use to pull out the text.

By the way, I used the "File/Open/Retrieve text from any document" solution.
