Word 2007 hangs showing the field codes

Hi, I've some documents (.doc written in previous versions of Word) on
wich Word2007 hangs when showing the fieldcodes (alt-F9), consuming a
lot of CPU. It seems to enter in a endless loop. I tried to save them
as docx to update the internal format but the problem is still the
same. Opening them in Word2003 and pressing Alt-F9 works just fine, no
problems, no issues. Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2, tried with German
and Italian edition.
Any help appreciated.
best regards
Toni Santa

Hi Stefan,
that was it. Saving the doc to a new one without the last paragraph
didn't risolve. Pasting the text to a new doc but without the last
paragraph resolved. Thanks again.
best regards
Toni
