You can use wplook.exe 3-4 times as explained in the following link to repair wp files "sometimes". http://wpuniverse.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4491

Or, try the x-retrieve method. Type any letter in a new blank document, delete that letter or character, then do and Insert, File.

Sometimes, tables can be repaired with a Startup Switch. See wp's help and search for Startup to see how the switch is used. It is supposed to work but it's never filled the bill for me.

Another method is to scroll with reveal codes open until it crashes. Delete the code just prior to the crash.

Lastly, here is one tip that sometimes works. Turnoff proofread or set one of the proofread options. Click Tools, Proofread to set these.
