Sorry to hear that - and I forgot to mention that you need to save a copy
first. (But sounds like you did that I'm glad to hear).
If you need to, the only way to clean your document is to rebuild it,
section by section - between tables and graphics. For example, Copy up to
(and don't include) the first section break, test it, if it works, save a
copy, add your section break, and then copy the next section.
Test it before re-adding tables and graphics as these are the most likely
elements that have corrupted.
You'll eventually find the culprit as it will start crashing again.
For what it is worth, I use Track Changes in a very limited way and don't
have problems, but I do hear often that this kind of thing happens when
track changes is used by multiple authors, and table heavy documents. MS
Word doesn't seem to handle it when taken to the limit.

Hi Suzy
Thanks for the advice. Alas, I did what you suggested, and now Word 2010
crashes as soon as I open the document and try to scroll.
Thankfully we haven't upgraded all our PCs to 2010. I've gone back to Word
2007 and change tracking is working perfectly.
Grrrrr

If it is a corruption as Christine says, Geoffrey - and it sounds like it is
- copy the whole document except the last paragraph into a new clean
document.
If that works, try accepting all changes first - if it will let you - and
then copy/paste.
If possible it would be best to re-build without the track changes present
and re-apply. You can print out the document so that you can see the track
changes.

I checked this on-line and they suggest it is a document corruption. Is it
an old document brought forward from 2003? That's the most frequent origin
of document corruptions.

Hi austechies
I have change-tracking turned on and, after every change I make to a
document, Word 2010 tells me it has encountered a serious error and has to
close. Yes, after every single change. It's driving me batty.
Has any else had this problem and knows of a workaround?
Cheers
