Word2000 having poblem on XP Platform

J

J.Y

recently i have added a few new PCs (XP/SP2) into my office network installed
with MSOffice2000.

Most of the office applications does not give me any problem except word.

The problem is as follow:
Word application will hang when i open/edit/save a word file that is created
sometime ago on WIn2000 with MSOffice2000 PC.
When the word doc is open, edited and sometime before the user can save the
file. It will pop up an error and then hangs the word applicaiton and all
changes are not saved. And the frequency is high.
I have patch the PC with SP3 and SR1a. But the problem remains.

One alternative solution that i had is to open all these file and save them
into Rich Text Format before editing the file and then save them back into
word file again. And the problem will be gone. BUT, this is not a good
solution as there are thousands of files that are created in MSOffice2000
with WIn2K OS. Thus every new PC that i installed and deploy will face the
same problem.

Ayone experience this. Please share the solution. Thanks
