Word quits w/o error message when opening two different docs

[ryreio]

Office 2000 SR-1 Professional.

When I go to open two different docs w/ word, the program opens them
for a split second then closes the entire winword.exe program. Even
other documents I may have open. I've tried reinstalling office, but
that didn't fix the problem.

I can open the docs in word pad w/o a problem, but I'd like to get this
fixed.

Hi

First, I suggest you make a backup copy of these documents somewhere, in
case you need to go back to them.

Now, File > Open. Click (once!) the name of your problem document.
Immediately to the right of the Open button is a little arrow. Click the
arrow and choose "Open and Repair".

Hope this helps.
