Dear Mr. Suzanne!
I tried The recover text option, the text written before using the option
was some what as follows:
" A.P. MOLLER
Ÿ ¤ ˜ œ Ÿ ¦ Ž I
Ž £ ¥ Ÿ ¦ Ž ¤ ¦ ¤ œ ¢ ¢ Ž ¥ ƒ § ¤ ¡ ó
œ ¦ œ ¦ £ ¥ š ¦ ¦ ƒ ž ¤ ¡ ó
¤ ¦ Ÿ £ ž œ ¥ ž œ ¤ ˜ œ Ÿ ¦
¥
¤ ¦ Ÿ * ž š Ÿ œ ¤ ³ Ÿ £ ¢ ¡ œ ¥ ¤ ¢
œ Ž ¤ ¦ ¤ ž Ÿ ¤ ¡ œ § ¤ ¤ ¦ ¥ é
¦ § ¢ ¥ Ÿ ˜ ž ¦ ¥ Ž œ Ÿ ˜
ž
¦ ¥ é
³ œ § œ Ž Ÿ ž ¤
1 2 3 4 5
¤ ¢ Ž ¦ ¥ * ¥ £ ¤ ¡ œ ¥ œ
ž
Ÿ Ÿ ¤ ¡ 3 Ÿ Ž ž œ § œ Ž œ § ¤ ¤ ¦ ¥ ó
3
Ž £ ¥ Ÿ ¦ Ž ¤ ž ž ¥ œ ž ˜ §
Ž
¤ ¡ é
4 8 16 32 ?
¤ ¢ 64 ¦ ¥ ¥ £ ¤ ¡ œ ¥ œ ž Ÿ
Ÿ
¤ ¡ ˜ 64 ž œ § œ Ž œ § ¤ ¤ ¦ ¥ ó "
These are the few starting Paragraphs of the text and after trying the
recover text Option, The text changed to :
" A.P. MOLLER
A.P. MOLLER
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
é
4 8 16 32 ?
é
4 8 16 32 ?
1 2 3 4 5
4
1 2 3 4 5
5
}Ą¤
1 2 3 4 5
6
¤
1 2 3 4 5

1 2 3 4 5
7
Ž
1 2 3 4 5
8
1 2 3
10
Ž
1 2 3 4 5 "
So I guess the problem still persists, because the file is about a test
pattern, its a sample test actually.... MCQs etc...
I am sure the file isn't curropted, so please tell me if there is any
other
way to recover the text I shall be very greatful to you.

Did you try using the "Recover Text from Any File" setting? If that did
not
work then the file is corrupted.

Well what you are saying is to head to the File menu then click on
Open
Tab,
after that a small window opensup, allowing me to choose the file I
want
to
open.
I can select the type of the document which I want to open on word,
right?
Now when if I select any option there, Rich Text Format, Web Pages,
etc
etc.
I will be only able to open that kind of document,
But the file I have is in a .doc format. I saw the properties of the
file
and it was written that the file was a .doc file.and thats for sure.
So I guess doing that dosen't solves my problem, I am Damn sure about
the
file that its a doc file, or in other sence you can say that there is
some
text written in the file, but it is encrypted,not by password, but by
symbols. I can only see different sortta symbols like ^$-_ etc. . . I
already
told you that I have tried to save the file in different formats,
using
Save
As option, in the File Menu. So that may be it could solve my problem,
as
if
I open the newly saved file, and get the text before me, but all was
in
vain.
So now I guess you may tell me some other way to view the file, I
shall be
VERY VERY GREATFUL to you, coz its really imp.

Display the File Open dialog. Below the Filename box is a dropdown
with
the caption "Files of Type". Try opening your file with different
options in
that dropdown, including, as a last resort, "Recover text from any
file."

Check what's showing in the 'Files of type' drop down on the File
Open

using
the
wrong format. If all else fails, try the 'Recover text from any
document'
option.
Sorry man I couldn't get ur point what you want me to do, I point
to
File
menu Open menu Than what ????
and what did you ment by " If all else fails, try the 'Recover
text
from
any
document ", how can I recover text from any document. . .
If you allow me I can send you the file I have you can have a look
at
it
and
sort out any way to properly view the file. Are you ok with that
??
