Yes, Microsoft Word does have a feature that allows you to display the ASCII hex values in a document. This can be helpful when you need to troubleshoot issues with file contents, as you mentioned.

Here's how you can display the ASCII hex values in a Word document:

1. Open the document you want to view the hex values for.
2. Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the screen.
3. Click on "Options" at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
4. In the Word Options dialog box, click on "Advanced" in the left-hand menu.
5. Scroll down to the "Show document content" section.
6. Check the box next to "Show hex codes" and click "OK" to save your changes.

Once you've enabled this option, you should be able to see the ASCII hex values for each character in your document. To view the hex values for a specific character, simply place your cursor on that character and look at the status bar at the bottom of the screen. The hex value for that character will be displayed in the status bar.

I hope this helps you track down the issue with your file contents!
