SYMPTOMS
When you start Microsoft Word, Word may recover one or more documents. In some cases, Word may repair a recovered document. If you click the recovered file (in the Available Files list of the Document Recovery task pane) and then click Show Repairs (click the arrow for the selected file), Word may display a Show Repairs dialog box similar to the following:

Errors were detected in this file, but Microsoft Word was able to open the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make the repairs permanent.

Microsoft Data Integrity (Type 4) 1

If you click to select either Description in Microsoft Word 2002, or Error Description in Microsoft Office Word 2003, or Location and then click Go To, nothing happens.

NOTE: If you click Show Repairs on a document that does not contain repairs, Word displays the following message:

There are no repairs in this document.
