Save as plain txt or rtf next time...or if you're feeling good save as .doc lol
fak 2007 - remove it and get '03.



well im pretty sure you're faked now... try checking the backup folder. I'm pretty sure word autosaves.

in my experience that usually happens when you open a file that word can't read, example a pdf.

^this

Looks like you saved it in some other program and word doesn't understand its underlying format too well. I use 2007 myself and hardly ever have any problems. Unless i have to open .docx in older versions of word.

If you really have such a hard time then just use an older version of word or use open office.
