Word 97 problems, Word encountered file corruption, VB message & text
with path names added to documents.

I'm having some weird problems on a PC. When opening Word documents
(or at least some of them), an error message immediately apears
saying:

Word encountered file corruption while opening
C:\Windows\..\PATHNAME\OURDOCNAME.doc Part of this document may be
recoverable. Attempt Recovery now? (Of course I replaced the pathname
& file name from our real ones)

Sometimes a VB error will also appear.

On Friday I virus scanned the computer with eTrust Anti-virus that's
on the PC (definitions were up to date). I also scanned with Trend
Micro's online Housecall. Neither found a virus. I also copied a
couple files on a disk, scanned the disk and nothing was found. The
files I tried worked fine on the other PC without any error messages.


Today, it was noticed that at least one of the documents contained the
entire document, but after the document it had added text:

Here's a few lines:

Normal
Normal
Default Paragraph Font
Default Paragraph Font
Valued Gateway Client*C:WINDOWS\Desktop\RTK - LABELS\CODE C.doc

Valued Gateway Client*C:WINDOWS\Desktop\RTK - LABELS\CODE C.doc
Valued Gateway Client*C:WINDOWS\Desktop\RTK - LABELS\CODE C.doc
Valued Gateway Client*C:WINDOWS\Desktop\RTK - LABELS\CODE C.doc
Valued Gateway Client*C:WINDOWS\Profiles\DONNA

The document continues listing over a dozen similar path names with
our documents

Then changes to this:

@HP Laserjet 1100
HP Laserjet 1100

HP Laserjet 1100

Root Entry

WordDocument

DocumentSummaryInformation
CompObj
MSWordDoc
Word.Document.8

I didn't bother typing some of the repeated lines in here.

Any idea what is causing this? I read about a corupt template file
somewhere online, but i'm not sure. One of the errors had mentioned
HP+drv so I was thinking maybe a failed printer driver. I removed &
re-installed all of the printer drivers.

Thanks

Hi Nate,

In File=>Open check to see if the file type is
'recover text from any file'. If the document
is corrupted then Word may try to recover the text
and you'll see the usually hidden formatting entries
at the end of the file.

Using Start=>Find/Search locate and delete the files
found with this filename string before starting Word
~*.*;*.tmp
