Solution/Work-around for exception errors

Post by eboepple »

Here is how I recovered the ability to work with a ,doc file that had become corrupt (kept giving "exception errors and wouldn't open in Atlantis, but would still open in MS Word):

1. Open in MS Word
2. Save as .rtf
3. Close the file
4. Open the .rtf in Atlantis
5. Save as .docx (I haven't tried .doc again since I wanted to do everything "different."

Voila: working fine.

What I "think" caused the trouble with the file (it was definitely the file since it wouldn't open on a different computer either): I tried closing Atlantis before saving the file. Atlantis just hiccuped and crashed/didn't close properly. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
