Right, I can't open the document yet. This is a Word group, but I am
wondering already what a DOS text editor can do? There has to be a way to
open it.
It is a genealogy file on family history, so I am not anxious to give up on
it just yet. I am downloading Star now. Anyone have a favorite text editor?
I was looking at Ultra-Edit (not free), but I am in almost desperation now.
As for graphics, I was "assured" there are none. I hope that is true.
Thank you.
Robert

The whole problem here seems to be that our poor friend can't OPEN the
document. So all the suggestions on how to make it smaller by editing it,
moving
graphics outside etc, are great, but probably not much immediate help.
My suggestion would be to reboot, and shut down every unneeded service.
Then
try opening the document. If that works, by all means try some of the
suggestions regarding fixing it. But if it still doesn't open, I think
you're in
trouble. Maybe Star Office (free) can open it.
How in the world did you manage to get an almost-1Gig Word document anyway?
It sounds like Word is not the best tool for your purposes.
