| 1263166 | 2012-03-05 06:59:00 | You never know but it would be worth trying LibreOffice to see if it can open it. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1263167 | 2012-03-05 07:02:00 | Still double dutch with wordpad. Will try LibreOffice | Kaycee (14727) | ||
| 1263168 | 2012-03-05 07:04:00 | Take a COPY of the file, rename it to .Txt extension, then have a look at it with Wordpad. Any embedded formatting, pictures etc will be garbled, but the original text MIGHT be legible. Alternative - see if you can get MS Office Application Recovery to deal to the document... or some equivalent App in the Office Tools folder. |

| 1263170 | 2012-03-05 09:44:00 | I have had success with corrupted files in similar circumstances using the ZTree file viewer. I was able to extract lines of text from a mess of code-like symbols etc that no text editor program could resolve. Problem is, if you are not familiar with ZTree you don't stand a chance of fluking it. If you hit a brick wall, pm me and I'll send an email address to send a copy of the file to, and I'll give it a go. It might be possible to recover enough to reconstruct the original. Can't make it any worse. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1263172 | 2012-03-06 00:41:00 | helpdeskgeek.com Whenever the user clicked the OK button, it would simply pop back up. What was really weird is that if she clicked on the red X button, the document would open just fine! Strange! |
