I tried several suggestions from the help desk--none of which worked. Then tried the restore suggestion and it did work, however, even with a different name on the file, it saved the file over my current file. Fortunately I had made a backup. I have never had issues prior to converting to 2012, but at least I can backup and restore thanks to your suggestions. Too bad I can't go back to 2006--I really regret leaving that version. Thanks again,
