Hello Graham
Thanks for the quick response.

The document wasn't saved anywhere else, just on a network drive, (I know, I
know, always have a back-up). I have tried opening "word" then using the
"open" dialogue box (with open and repair). Even navigating to the saved
location and opening gives the same error message.

I can't think of anything else to do

John
