Today my friend called me and told me that a particular word document was not opening on his computer.According to him ,his mother was working on the document and when she saved it ,the computer hung.That particular document could not be opened after restarting the computer.

So I concluded that the meta data of the file was not saved correctly and hence word was not opening it.
Also the problem with my friends computer was that he was using windows 98 and Office 2000
