Microsoft Word shutting down when I open same file

[Guest]

Whenever I open one particular file in Microsoft word
it shuts down with an error asking me if I want to send
the error message to microsoft, then the program shuts
down. The file I am working on has two text boxes in
it and some drawing objects also. Is the file using up
too much memory ? My other Word files do not have
these "elements" in it, and so I do not have any problems
with my other word files, just this one. I have Pent 3
computer 600 mhz with 256k memory, I used windows xp
pro. Is this file using up too much memory ? Thankyou.

Your Windows version is fairly irrelevant. The version of Word would be more
helpful. Likely, the file is corrupt in some way, and likely it's the
drawing objects. See:

and

If you can't recover your document, I have Word 2003, and may be able to.
Send it to my first name at the website just below my name.
