Document appears corrupt, fine in Read View

[nickb]

Hi all.



I have an existing document (that is primarily a table over 5 landscape pages).

In Window Preview Pane it appears fine.

When I open the document I get 181 pages of blank - only a header appears.

If I look at it in Read Mode, it is fine.

Any ideas what's happened? I have attached it on here.

I haven't edited the document for a year and just come to review it and found it like this.

I looked to restore previous versions, but there are none.

A colleague has tried to open it on their PC and it's the same.

Thank you.

Edit to add; I am using Office 365, Word is version 2010.

Yes, it appears to have picked up a corruption of some sort. If you change to Draft View you can see the content and every line of text appears to be wanting to be on a new page. I can't explain what exactly the corruption is but there is a relatively easy fix.

An easy fix on my machine is to do a SaveAs to RTF format which appears to clear the issue. You can then do another SaveAs to go back to docx and it now appears fine.

Andrew you're my hero! Thank you so much. That has worked.
