Sounds like it is corrupt. Did you save it to removable media?

Just curious -- when you say "removable media" are you including USB flash
drives?

You wouldn't think so, but some users have reported problems with these.

Certainly they have lower read/write speeds than hard disks. Maybe that's
it. (Thanks for your support in the other ng Suzanne...)

Except the "Beware of trusting AutoSave." Word hasn't had AutoSave in years,
and even when it did, it was the same as the present "Automatic backup,"
which does *not* overwrite an existing document. This description seems to
be a mishmash of AutoRecover and automatic backup.

Robert and Suzanne,

Thanks for the info. I use a flash drive as both back-up and as a way of
transporting files from machine to machine. I'll stop saving directly to the
drive.
