Hi George

I've experienced it! It seems to be a problem with a corruption in the
file somewhere. Good luck with finding it! There is an excellent
article at the MVP site:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm

I tried the suggestion about saving as a web page and then resaving as
a Word doc. It worked pretty well -- there will be some reformatting
to do, but I was allowed to change page orientation.

The problem -- which I hope one of the experts here will address -- is
that it DOUBLED the size of the file, which was already huge to begin
with. Do you all have any ideas about how to bring it back down to a
reasonable size?

Thanks!
