I am getting a good number of MS Word docx files suddenly coming up "corrupted". In each case they are down to 4KB, which I believe means empty? I run my Norton Internet Security scan every day, and also have McAfee, so I hoped I would be protected. I use usb's fairly often on other computers, however. I have tried the usual simple "opne/repair" tactics but no luck. Must I kiss these files goodbye? Fortunately I have hard copies of almost all of them. Lastly, is this group an appropriate one to post my query too? Thanks for any and all replies! signed: Frustrated in Canada.
