Word 2003 continually repaginates

[Bill Murch]

Hi there,
I have a document in Word 2003 SP1 that continually repaginates. Anything
that involves page movement forces a repagination, even just rolling my mouse
wheel. Everything else works fine in the document, but it is incredibly slow
to work on because of the continual repagination.

The document is 39 pages long & has quite a few images inserted, but I have
longer documents with more images & they are OK. I've tried copying &
pasting the entire document to a new one, but the problem remains.

I am assuming the file has become slightly corrupted. Does anyone know of a
way that I can solve this problem?

Hi Bill,

Your assumption is probably correct. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm for recovery
procedures.

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the reply. The web page you sent me to is great! I've not
fixed the document yet, but am confident I can now.

Thanks again.
Bill

Hi again Jay,
Thought I'd let you know that the document is OK now. The corruption was in
one of the section breaks I had inserted when I turned a page in the document
from portrait to landscape.

Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm glad it worked!
