Where are the "Repairs made by Word" ?

[Guest]

When I start to save a document, this message appears:
"File contains repairs made by Word..." When as suggested, I choosebefore
saving "Show repairs," the name of an item (e.g. "text boxes") appears. "Go
to" gives this message:
"bookmark does not exist."

Why is WORD making repairs that do not seem to exist, or if they exist why
are they not revealed?
Anyone know how can I stop this behavior?

Does this occur on all documents? If so are you using the same
document to create new documents? If not are your documents on
removable media, such as a floppy disk?

The errors Word is finding do exist. Typically these types of errors
are in the internal numbering stored in the binary and are not
viewable in the document so there really isn't anything to 'go to'.

There was a time Word did not detect errors and repair documents. If a
document contained errors they would simply corrupt and you would be
unable to reopen them so be thankful this behavior *does* exist.

It occurs only in some documents, though not in any predictable pattern. It
does not occur when I start a "new document".
The error is almost always is in "text boxes"

You might try renaming your Normal.dot template. If that is damaged, it could
cause such a problem in documents created from it (new, "blank" documents).
Renaming it will cause Word to create a new Normal.dot, and future documents
may then display the problem less (or not at all).
