I'm correcting a document and strange things are happening. At first I
though I was going mad. I would have things on my list of corrections
that i'd ticked off, yet I couldn't find the changes I'd made in the
document. Anyway, today the stuff I wrote this morning, which had been
there just fine, Had been loaded and saved several times, has just
dissappeared. Whole pages of text that were there before aren't
anymore.

I'm using Word 2002 on WinXP SP2

Help?
 
More info: Okay, so i've also now started having problems with wor
crashing. I'll have been working on a document happily for about a
hour, and i'll go to select some text, and word locks up. My CPU goe
to 50% (since i'm on a dual core system, this means that word is usig
100% of the processor allocated to it) and stays there for as long a
it is left and word never comes back, until it is killed
 
Okay. Word is definatly claiming to have saved things when it hasn't.
Just started running very slowly, so I saved my document. Since I
couldn't see if it had saved or not, I saved as with a new name. When I
exited word, the new document was in my recent files, but when I
selected it windows told me it didn't exist.
 
hmm... it would appear you can only see half of my last reply, the rest
was:

Indeed, what you are seeing could very well be caused by a macro (in an
add-in or in a specific template). By disabling the add-ins, and then
enabling them one by one, you should be able to figure out which one (if
any) is causing the issue.
 
Okay, so I turned off all my add-ons. Rebuilt all the templates an
documents involved, and have been having far less trouble ... unti
today.

I was finishing the project by building a new master document. When
expanded the subdocuments, the version on one of the documents tha
appeared was well over a year old. Opening the referenced documen
seperately brings up the correct version. As far as i'm aware th
version that was brought up doesn';t exist anywhere on the system.
could tell this was the wrong version because the title has change
since then, but for other subs, its possible the wrong versions ar
being used without me knowing.

Anyone have any idea whats going on
