Can't open a Word 2000 doc in Word 2003

Hi,

I jsut upgradee to Word 2003 from Word 2000 and some files saved in the
older version won't open in the newer without this error:

Word experienced an error trying to open the file.
Try these suggestions.
* Check the file permissions for the document or drive.
* Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space.

* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter.

I can open them in Word 2000 again or in 2003 if I save them as RTF in 2000
first. ( and I canNOT open them via 'Open and Repair' )

any thoughts?

thanks,

-john
