TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
One more idea, is there, in the directory where the original *.DOC file was
stored, a *.~oc or some such file with the same name and a *.~ extension, if
you delete that file you might find it easier to open the main *.DOC file.
As a sidebar, you may want to make sure the doc is less than 25Mb, anything
over that Word tends to either choke or just plain corrupt your doc.
