When I open a document produced in Word 2003, it doesn't print correctly. I
have a doucment with 17,660 words and it shows as a 2 page document. I can
open it in 2003 and it shows fine as a 39 page document. I have tried
converting it and then it only shows as 3 pages. If I do a print preview and
try to page down, I get an error message "Word could not determine the
destination". Has anyone got a solution to the problem? Thanks Jim

Try using Open & Repair: that may find the problem.

From your description, there is a corruption near the beginning of the
document. Try using SaveAs and chose RTF or HTML format. Save and close the
document. Then reopen and use SaveAs to change back to a DOC formant.

Hi Terry,

That worked. Apparently both tables within the document had the same error.
I converted to rtf and it found the errors. Then re saved back to doc
97-2003 format and all was well. Thanks again.
