How do I get Word to stop repaginating?

[isukl]

Working on a technical report in Word 2000, in track change mode. The
software will not stop repaginating - going to 9000+ pages. I've put the
cursor at the end of the text, but cannot go any farther in the document.
Copying to another file does not stop the repaginating.

That can be a sign of doc corruption.

The quickest way to check for a corrupt document is to
copy the entire thing, *excluding* the last paragraph mark, into a new
document. That last paragraph mark holds a lot of information which can get
corrupted, and copying the text into a document with a fresh one keeps your
formatting, but can fix some glitches.

A paragraph mark is a gray ¶. Click on ¶ on the standard toolbar to show
nonprinting characters, including paragraph marks.

See this link for further info and other ways to un-corrupt a doc.
