MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / June 2004Why are my documents opening up minus any formatting all of a sudden?
For about a week now, in an unpredictable way, when I open a Word document, it will open minus any formatting. Everything will be in the default typeface and size, no bolding, underlining, graphics, colors, etc. If I then close the document (no saving of course) without exiting Word, then reopen it, it's fine. My computer has plenty of memory (512 meg) and is free of viruses and malware - I regularly update and run NAV, Stinger, Adaware, and Spybot. This is in Word 2000, which I've used extensively for more than four years before this problem set in. My O/S is Windows 98. In the File Open dialog, change the "Files of type" setting from "Recover Text from Any File" to "All Word Documents." For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/RecoverText.htm -- Suzanne S.

Well, this is a question I've seen a few times before (which is what makes it a FAQ). <g> -- Suzanne S.
