Word: It keeps shutting down when I open this file.

[Susutea]

I am working on a document file in word, it has some "drawing objects"
in it, and two text boxes. The problem is, whenever I work on just this
file..
Microsoft Word shuts down, and says "word shutting down, would you like
to send this error message to microsoft". Anyway, this error happens
only when I work on this particular file, no other file. Is this file
using a lot
of memory ? I don't have any problems with my other simple documents
which do not have drawing objects and text boxes. I have a 600 mhz PIII
computer with 256k memory. Can someone tell me why "word" keeps shutting
down when I work on just this file. Thankyou, Su

Obviously, one of your drawing objects is corrupt. I suggest reading the
following articles before you continue:

If you have the option, use the Open and Repair setting in File Open (click
the arrow beside Open to check).
