483136 2006-09-07 11:04:00 Did the attachment have the standard .doc extension? Have you tried saving it and then opening it up? Jen (38)
483137 2006-09-08 07:21:00 Yes is a .doc file.
Do you think it could be a security thingy.
My son had to copy paste to show the message.

483138 2006-09-08 10:12:00 Best thing to do is to send the file to a Virus company for "intel" (short form for intellance). This should be done only if it is non-sensitive information and not for work or some other organistation, group, or team of some short.

This way the file can be checked for mailcous code.

483139 2006-09-08 10:23:00 The original receipient can read it okay .. just when its forwarded to me that the problem occurs. I don't think there's any thing malicious going on .. just wondering what ?? cowboy stu (7021)
483140 2006-09-08 10:30:00 Don't worry cowboy stu on what shaz was saying, he / she was just blabbering along.

Can you use other word processing programs such as Wordpad or Notepad to open up the file and see if you still see those funny codes?

Cheers :)

483142 2006-09-08 23:06:00 Sounds like you have a malware attack.
With luck Speedy will come to the rescue.

483143 2006-09-09 04:11:00 Get the other guy to sent it to you again. It sounds like it's just been corrupted accidentally. TGoddard (7263)
