On my personal computer I am using Word 2000, and at work I am using Word 2003.

I am having difficulty in reading one of my 2000 manuscripts in 2003. The
loading of the text hangs at around 30%.

After reloading 2003 it says it has recovered from a serious error.

Help

Hi Colyn,

There may be a problem with the Word 2003 installation. Is it fully updated, and have you tried running 'Detect and Repair' from the
Help menu?

Alternatively, there may be some corruption in the document itself. A quick fix that can rescue many such a document is to open it
(for you, in Word 2000), scroll to the very end, insert a new paragraph, then copy everything except the new paragraph and paste the
copied material into a new document.
