Word2003 can't open Word2000 file

[Guest]

I have a word2000 file that can open in other office2000 properly.

but when I open this file in office2003, it can't and I repair the file, it
show "data integrity error" something like that.

Now all word2003 can't open word2000 file, it need repair before open.

Any solution to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot

Word 2000 is more willing to tolerate damaged files than is Word 2003.
The best solution is to open the document in Word 2000 and use File >
Save As to save it in another format such as HTML or RTF. Then open
the resulting file in Word 2003 and save it as a Word document (.doc)
file.
