A friend sent me a document via e-mail.
I can open it and read it inside the e-mailprogram, but when i download it,and try to open it i get an illegal operation message.
The detail says: WINWORD caused an invalid page fault in module WINWORD.EXE at 017f:
30lef60f.
This is followed by: Registers: and an awful lot of numbers.
What is wrong here?

Sounds like a corrupt file.

Try opening it in Wordpad. If doesn't work try renaming it with txt extension and try both editors again.

I presume you can open other documents in Word with no problem. Do a virus scan on the file also.

I would ask your friend to resend the file to you if above does not work. Ask him to open it first to make sure he can open with no problem. He should send you the original file and maybe an rtf version as well.

Good luck.
