Word 2003 cannot open RTF format

[Ivan]

I am usng Word 2003 sp3 under Wiindows XP and find that when I open the RTF
format document, it needs to repair and cannot open at once. It needs open
twice before it can open.

Any advice on this .

Thanks,
Ivan

Assuming that this happens with a particular RTF document only, I'd say that
document is damaged. Copying the text, except for the final paragraph mark,
into a new file often fixes corruption. For more on document corruption, see
