I created a document in Word 2000.
I try to open this document in Word 2003 but without
success.
Another PC with Word 2003 gives the same negative result.
However, I can still open the document on any PC in Word
2000.

I thought it was the content of the file.
I removed everything from the file in Word 2000 and
resaved it.
I still can't open it in Word 2003.

The file is available on demand.

Any advice?

Thanks
 
A colleague of mine gave me the solution.
1. Open the file in Word 2000.
2. Save as "Word 97-2000&6.0/95 - RTF (*.doc)".
You will get a much bigger file.
3. Open the file in Word 2003.

A simple "Save as Word Document (*.doc)" is not sufficient.

If anyone knows the cause of the problem, do not hesitate
to post it.
