Word crashes on Save on one document only

[Gaijintendo]

I am presently editing a large (100mb, 50 page) document in word, and upon
editing today, and changes will not save. I recieve the error:

"WINWORDS.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will
need to restart the program.

An error log is being created."

This only happens on this document, and I have tried deleting large portions
of the document to isolate what component is corrupt - but this is not east,
and doesnt seem to be leading mr anywhere.

I have tried deleting normal.dot, I have tried forcing word to rebuild the
registry (which I am sure was not required) and am still no closer to a
solution.

The document is rich with embedded table and graph objects.

Any help would be appreciated.

Additional info: if I copy and paste - the desitnation file will save, but
the formatting gets messed up... which is a bit of a problem...

Ooh, might do well to mention it is Word 2000, and Windows 2000.
