Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately Word still stops responding, when I try the "Open and Repair" option.
Since posting this question, I have narrowed things down a bit. It seems that the problem is with the comments. If I open the document in Open Office, remove all the comments, and then save as a .doc file, Word can then open it. I have tried just leaving one randomly chosen comment, but even just one comment prevents Word from opening the file.
