GPF or Dr watson came up. I tryed the same document on 3 different systems and same thing happen, the doc was corrupt. Is there some way in word of office to repair a word doc if corrupt.

1st attempt: Open it and do a 'save as...'
2nd attempt: Open it and do a 'cut & paste' to a new document.

GPFs are 16-bit errors unlike IPFs which are 32-bit errors.

In the case of your document it has become corrupted in the area of the file that stores information related to 16-bit information. 99.9% of the time this is simply a crapped up printer driver (normally 16-bit eg. HP, Epson, Canon).

Try the following the possible fixes listed in Q87856 of the Microsoft knowledge base at

I hope this helps!
