In some cases, we have been unable to use the "Read Any File" option when
attempting to read a corrupted Word file....our second line of defense
is to try placing the word file in PageMaker.  Sometimes this works, sometimes
not.  If things are REALLY hosed up, and the paper is REALLY important,
I'll use CanOpener or Fedit.

Good Luck!
