Hi Jung,

1,970KB is not especially large for a Word file. Word files can have 32MB (32,768KB) of text and can be up to 512MB overall. Your problems suggest a corrupt document. You may be able to recover the content by choosing File|Open and, before clicking 'Open', choose 'Recover text from any file' from the 'files of type' dropdown.
