HI,
I'm trying to edit a long document (about 300 pages) with images on .wmf
format put inside textboxes.
Well, I don't know why. While Word2000 page up the document, the number of
pages change and it starts to count many and many number of pages (and the
counter never end...). To see the document I have to break the paging up and
see it in normal view, but it starts again when I try to see the print
preview o when I try to work in print Layout.
Please help me, because I have to edit the discussion for my degree.

Sorry fo rmy bad english.... I'm tryin' to learn it.
Thanks
Fabio

Sounds like this file has become damaged. Since you can still open it (lcuky,
lucky!) I suggest you copy all EXCEPT the last paragraph mark to a new
document and see then if this new document behaves itself?

Note that you'll need to reset the margins, headers, footers and such.
Unfortunately, these things are saved in the same place where documents are
most often damaged.
