Re: Takes longer to open Word Template Developed in Word 2000 in Word

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TGlnYXlh?=,

I developed a Word template in Word 2000. When I open it in the newer
version of Word (e.g. Word 2002 or 2003), sometimes it would not open.
Sometimes it would open but takes forever to ope. Saved the template in the
newer Word version but still has the same problem.

What's causing this behavior and how could I prevent it from happening if I
develop another template.

This is a template and not a document? A *.dot file? And by "open" you do mean
File/Open, not File/New?

If yes, the file structures may be damaged. If you copy everything but the last
paragraph mark into a new document and save that as a template, does it open
correctly?
