Sounds like it is corrupt. Did you save it to removable media?

Just curious -- when you say "removable media" are you including USB flash
drives?

You wouldn't think so, but some users have reported problems with these.

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removable_media and

Except the "Beware of trusting AutoSave." Word hasn't had AutoSave in years,
and even when it did, it was the same as the present "Automatic backup,"
which does *not* overwrite an existing document. This description seems to
be a mishmash of AutoRecover and automatic backup.

Robert and Suzanne,
Thanks for the info. I use a flash drive as both back-up and as a way of
transporting files from machine to machine. I'll stop saving directly to the
drive.

Certainly they have lower read/write speeds than hard disks. Maybe that's
it. (Thanks for your support in the other ng Suzanne...)
