Page madness
Help, help, help!!! Word 2002 on XP I am writing an essay, which should be about 9 pages by now, and includes a numbers of images. I pasted some tect from another file and suddenly the essay went mad with a page count at the bottom going on forever. Last time I closed the file it was reaching the 10,000 mark and still counting. I have important information there and need to retrieve the file. What can I do? It appears to me that whatever I pasted could not be read properly and Word can't find the end of it. Help... |

Eternal repagination is a sign of a corrupt document.
The first way to check for a corrupt document is to copy the entire thing, *excluding* the last paragraph mark, into a new document. That last paragraph mark holds a lot of information which can get corrupted, and copying the text into a document with a fresh one keeps your formatting, but can fix some glitches. A paragraph mark is a ¶. Click on ¶ on the standard toolbar to show nonprinting characters, including paragraph marks. If that doesn't work, try the other fixes listed at this link: http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm On 8/27/05 2:36 AM, "Peter" wrote: Help, help, help!!!
