Word 2000: Document name or path invalid? - No it's not

B

BMC

I've got a couple of doc files that will open in Word 97
on Windows 98 and Word XP on Windows XP, but not Word
2000 on 98.

The 'document or path is invalid' error appears, but
there's nothing wrong with the paths or names, and the
files are not using mail merge or HTML, which can also
cause this error. The file has been passed around and
edited by multiple users, but I'm surprised it's 2000
that's having problems and not 97.

By resaving it as a rtf I managed to get them open on the
2000 machine, but I need to know why this occurred so
that it may be prevented in the future.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.
