Jeff,  A PhD student at our institution had a problem with her dissertation
file becoming corrupted after going back and forth between a PC and a MAC.
I don't know if that's what is going on with yours but after trying to
trouble shoot with Microsoft over the phone she ended up mailing the
document on a floppy to Microsoft and they fixed it for her - just a
thought.   Jeanene
