Along Geoff's vein: You can try this with Open Office too. OOo is a free
download from OpenOffice.org.

Arroxane reports that none of my suggestions worked, so here's one
more try: If you have a copy of InDesign, try opening the file that
way. A couple years back, I couldn't open a particular Word file sent
by a client even using "open and repair". In desperation, I tried
opening it in InDesign, and mirabile dictu!, opened it with no
problems, exported it to RTF, and then continued in Word.

Worth a try! I've also had this trick fail, but sometimes Adobe seems
to know Word better than Microsoft does.
