RE: HELP! A monumental pickle

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Rule #1 for large, crashing Word files is: Maggie the document first,
and then we'll talk. To "Maggie" is to copy everything except the final
paragraph mark and paste into a new doc, and save it with a new name. If
there are section breaks, you need to copy-and-paste one section at a
time, so you eliminate each section's final paragraph mark.

Your problem might not be the styles, which you can see. You *can't* see
what's hidden in those final paragraph marks, but what's hidden there
can cause your document to crash on any PC, no matter how much memory
it's got.
