I finished creating a Word document and was in the process of formating a
(400k) graphic when the doc froze. I had saved it just after adding the
graphic. Any tips on how to retreive my doc? Thanks.

You can't open the file you saved?

Which version of Word?

The file opens, but as soon as it does so, freezes. I am using Word in the
Office XP suite.

That's not good <sigh>.

How about using Insert/File to bring it into another document? Does that also
freeze?

If it does, then the only thing you'll be able to do is to recover the text. In
File/Open, there's a file type named "Recover text from any document" you can
use to pull out the text.
