Hi folks,



MS Word 2003 got the last laugh this time. I think the file is corrupt,
but getting an insufficient memory error. I know it's not really
a memory problem, but the only alternative I can find is that it has
something to do with my anti-virus. Right now, I'm running AVG 8 Free
and that's never caused problems before. I suspect the culprit is a
graphic that got hungry and started eating my file.



At this point, I'm stuck with either a) going back to the version four
days before or b) recovering text only and rebuilding the styles,
links, references, index, ToC, and so forth.



Perhaps one of you has a better idea on how to repair this doc without
wasting another week repeating what I've already done to the doc?



And please, no lectures about backups or Word or whatever. I'm in no position to fix any of that at this point.



Thanks!
