Hi Vicky, here is another suggestion if you are still having problems. It involves "re-formatting" (note, the steps are different if using Word 2007; these steps are for 2003). 1. Select everything (CTRL+A) 2. Open the Styles and Formatting task pane (ALT+O, then S) 3. Hit the Up-Arrow until you hear "Clear Formatting" 4. Close the Styles and Formatting task pane (CTRL+F1) 5. Listen to your document and see if it worked.
If that does not work then it is very possible that you have a corrupt doc file; and if that is the case let me know, there is another workaround for that.

A work around could be to copy & paste to a new document of your own - that may be easier to format? I'd like to hear the outcome.
