Save as XML as default?

K

Kimba W. Lion

Word 2003 (11.5604.5703):
I have a fair sized document (222 pages, lots of images) that I'm making
extensive changes to. I wasn't surprised when it came up corrupted this
morning, following the usual pattern for corruption that I've seen: when
trying to scroll through the document, Word will either get stuck on one
page or jump ahead many pages.

Anyway, saving the document as XML cured the problem.

My question is, should I _normally_ save my document as XML and forego the
normal DOC format? Would I gain freedom from document corruption?
Would I lose anything?
