Number of pages goes up to 3000 when editing a graphic

[MrT]

Hi!
When I am editing a specific graphic (using Word XP), the number o
pages in the document raises from about 70 to 3000. Even if I´m jus
moving it to another location or changing the layout. The only thing
can do is minimizing that graphic, otherwise there are these 3000 empt
pages added about two pages later in the text.
The same problem occurs on another computer, if I edit this specifi
graphic...
Please help! (and sorry for my English)
Mr

My first thought is that the document structures may be damaged. Do you
still have the original graphics file? If yes, I suggest deleting the
graphic from the document, then re-inserting as the first thing to try.

Thanks for the hint. The problem even occured, when I deleted th
special graphic, so deleting wouldn´t solve the problem.
But I could avoid this problem by copying the document except for
section around this graphic. Afterwards I inserted this critica
section into WordPad to destroy any redundant formatting and paste i
into the new document.
Don´t know why, but it worked
Thanks anyway

This means the paragraph structure was damaged (rather than the
document structure). Moving it into WordPad stripped that out
