When opening a 2000 to 2003 doc I get a corruption error
I'm trying to open a 2000 word doc in 2003. I keep getting a "possible
correuption" error and to do a restore and fix to it. Although following those directions, the options are not available to select the fix and restore in 2003. I've been able to open the doc in word pad, but it is lined out through the entire doc. Any help would be appreciated. |

When trying to open the document, have you (after selecting the document in
the FileOpen dialog), used the Pull-down on Open to select the Open and Repair item? See the article "How can I recover a corrupt document or template - and why did it become corrupt?" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "LB" wrote in message ...

It's in the FileOpen dialog.

In Word 2003 are you selecting the file in the Open dialog, do not
double-click to open, then clicking the arrow next to the Open command button? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email can not be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "LB" wrote in message ...
