I hate to say it but it sounds like all of the files in the folder are
corrupt. :-(

In one particular folder, I cannot open any files in WORD - all I
get is the
letter "Y" on all the pages (line by line). I can open files in
other
folders fine. In Explorer, I can see all the files correctly named
but they
are garbled when I try to open them.

I'm using Office 2002 on XP (sp2).

Thanks
Jim Kennedy
