Word randomly corrupts text

[Wonder]

Hello, I have a really odd problem with Word 2002 on XP. When workin
on a document, Word will randomly replace a paragraph with currupt tex
somewhere in the document.

It only seems to happen on files stored on our Server PC, and i
happens on more than one computer. You're just typing along, and yo
scroll up through the document to find that a paragraph or two are jus
gone, replaced with junk.

We have run anti-virus & Ad-aware sweeps on all PC's, they foun
nothing. They only thing I can possibly think of is that maybe ba
cabling/hub is causing the auto save to corrupt the file as we ar
working on it

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas before I go out an
replace the router and wiring for no reason..

Hi Wonder,

Yes, it's likely a network problem. See if this article helps:

(... it basically says to check "Tools > Options >Save tab > Make local
copy of files stored on network or removable drives")
