I have Word 2002. It came on a Microsoft Works bundle disc which I bought when I had my first laptop. I wasn't aware of the docx upgrade.

The main reason I haven't bought a newer version of Word is that I prefer the older style toolbar, and I don't need to spend the money.

I like Word, as a word processor, but find that I'm more likely to use FocusWriter or Scrivener for creative things.

Thanks for the LibreOffice recommendation, but I'll probably stick with Word.

The problematic document wasn't a Word doc, but txt from NotePad.
