The following error message pops up on some documents. "This document may be corrupt. To preserve the contents; Choose Select All from the Edit menu, then choose Copy from the Edit menu. Create a new document, then choose Paste from the Edit menu.

The recommended action has been taken. The new version of the document also gets the same message. We have tried copying small sections of the document at a time and seeing when the error message occurs; but have had inconsistent results and have been unable to pinpoint the problem.
 
Hi Lisa,

Try the copy>paste with everything but the final paragraph mark in the
original document.

If that doesn't work, select>copy>paste half the document. If that bit is
OK, repeat this process (select>copy>paste) with half of the remainder of
the original document. If the first select>copy>paste is not OK,
select>copy>paste half of it and repeat as necessary.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
Hope this helps
