Summary:

When saving or repaginating a text file, Word may seem to loop without end, never completing the process.

This infinite save or repagination will occur if the 65536th character of a text file, originally created with a program other than Word, is a paragraph mark.

To work around this problem, the file must be edited so that this position in the file does not contain a paragraph mark. Usually this can be accomplished by adding some characters at the beginning of the file, such as a few spaces at the end of a line.

This problem has been addressed in version 3.02.
