Glo, What versions of Word do you have on your computer at home and work? The Windows versions don't have anything to do with it, but your MS Office or MS Word versions could be different on the two computers. To find out what versions, open Word, click on Help, then on About MS Word. You may have to save your document at work in another format, if your version at home is different. You can do that by clicking on save, then click on the arrow next to the "Save as Type" and scroll down to find the one that matches your home computer version. Here is also a MS site on how to open the doc in wordpad: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=276337 nightsneak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glo" <redowl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 4:23 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- MS Word Error > Hi All, I created a document in MS Word on my computer at work.
