What happens if you open the file in something else that will read .doc files, eg, TextEdit or Open Office or any of its clones (NeoOffice, etc - assuming have any of the latter)? 2. Do you know the syntax of the calculations? Could you re-enter them into your onscreen document? A bit of a nuisance but it might work. 3. I'm also wondering if there isn't some reliance on a macro set up which isn't available to you Sorry I can't of more help. It does seem likely that there may be some internal structural problems with the file.
