Resolving Red X Problem In Word Documents

A damaged Word document may exhibit strange behavior which cannot be attributed to normal operation of the application

. For instance, incorrect document formatting, unreadable or junk characters, error messages, system crashes when you load a particular file and others. If you prepare Word documents with graphics and images, you must be familiar with the problem of Red X. Many-a-times, when you open your Word file(which contains graphics), some of the graphics may be displayed as partial or whole Red X. This problem may occur most often with .bmp files or pasted graphics or if your Word document is corrupt. And, if your Word document is corrupt, you are required to perform repair word file in order to remove Red X and recover a fine Word document.

Consider a scenario where you create a Word file, related to your college project, in Microsoft Word 2000 and open the same using MS Word 2002, you may not be able to get the whole document as all your graphics would have changed to annoying Red X. You are clueless as what to do because you have to submit this paper urgently.

Cause

The graphics could have been replaced by Red X if any of the following condition is true:

If the image is a GIF or JPEG image which contains complex formatting such as animations, sounds or progressive displays

The directory specified as a temporary directory in Windows does not exist

There is insufficient space on your machine's hard disk

If the image has been damaged

If the document is itself corrupt

Resolution

You can observe the following word repair steps:

Modify JPEG or GIF files so that they include only those elements that Word uses. You can use a picture editing program to save the picture

Verify that you are using a valid temp directory

Though there is no minimum amount of free disk spacer required to a Word document, most computers require a certain amount of free space to open, close, and save files. Free 20 MB or more space on the hard disk, restart Windows and open the file again

To recover damaged image you can a graphics editing program, save the file in a different format and then attempt to re-insert

If the document is corrupt, save the file in RTF format, re-open the document in Word and convert it from RTF

If you don't succeed in removing the Word file corruption, opt for a word recovery software
