Solved it, and think I've discovered a but and an undesirable
feature/interpretation in the individual narrative report.
Investigations showed that it was a primary death tag, one I've typed the
memo for, but with an embedded citation, that was causing the problem.
I did various things to it:
I'd obviously typed the embedded citation in and got the format a bit wrong
(comma instead of colon), but fixing that didn't help at all.
The copy/paste from word was a red herring, and copying the text out to
notepad, emptying the memo, saving the tag, opening it again and copying the
text back in from notepad, or as above but saving the notepad text,
reopening it before doing the copy/paste back into TMG just to make sure any
funny characters were killed made no difference (which I expected as the
text had been typed directly into TMG in the first place)
So I decided to rebuild the tag from scratch, having shifted the original to
a different tag type and set my report to only include the Death tag.
Went well until I added back in the embedded citation, with citation detail
added.
Tried removing the citation detail leaving just the number and surety, but
that made no difference.
So, with memos as endnotes, and an embedded citation I get a source
conversion error #13
Changing the memos to embedded with parentheses, it works, but the embedded
citation isn't how I'd like it, giving all the citation detail in the
embedded memo instead of just referencing the endnote even though I have my
sources set to endnotes unique. Which seems to me a bug.
All of which just reinforces my opinion that I should have stuck to
SecondSite, except in this instance I wanted printed reports, not a cd or a
web page.
I'll put this on the forum as well for future reference, and the hope it
will get some attention in the next release.

Ta Virginia, I've definitely done all the VFI/optimise/close down/restart of
TMG, and full reboot.
I have isolated it to the one person, but life intervened and haven't yet
isolated the hopefully one tag involved.

-----------------------
You've tried rebooting? Maybe it's just a memory problem with Word2000 and
not a specific memo after all. Would a report with a subset of your group
at a
time help isolate it? Half the total group, then half the problem group,
and
so on.
