I am working on a large document (500KB, no graphics) in Word 2003. When I
try to modify one particular style, Word crashes. It doesn't happen with any
other style in this document, or in any other document. I have a sinking
feeling that the document may be somehow corrupted. Any ideas? I would hate
to have to copy and paste the text into a new document and reformat
everything; there are probably 200 headings plus a lot of other styles.
Thanks.
 
Since it's been available, I prefer XML, sice it's both less likely to loose
features, and easier to read as a text file (to troubleshoot in case simply
saving in this format does not fix the problem).

Regards,
Klaus

Usually, saving in RTF or HTML will remove minor corruptions, but the

A good tip and rather obvious now that you have mentioned it. Thanks.
