Have you tried using the Recover Text from Any File setting in Word's
File
Open dialog? If that doesn't help, then you won't be able to access this
file.

Hi Suzanne,
Is there anyway of changing the format back or
undoing
the
corruption if it is....if so how would I know and can I change it back
or
have I lost it completely. If I have lost it competely then I have to
delete
it out of my system I thought I could fix the problem as it is
something I
wrote up for my daughter and now I NEED it for the new baby.
Regards Sharon
