I am running Word 2000 on XP Professional. I have a large Word doc that is
about 16,000 kb. Sometimes when I save it, it locks up my computer so bad I
have to restart? What gives....

corrupt? (by Dave Rado, with acknowledgements to John McGhie)

Robert,
Thanks for the quick reply. I read the info & I don't use those things. The
doc may be corrupt, but Word seems to have some problems. eg help locks up,
I retrieved an older version of the same doc at a time when I didn't have
this problem & I have the problem even with the old file? I removed &
reloaded Word, but that didn't do anything? I think it is a Word problem?
