Hi ?B?U2t5ZQ==?=,
I don't know how to know if the text is formatted as hidden, but it's not
white.
I can highlight/select a paragraph-sized space on the first page, but that's
all that appears to be in the document.
Do you have the display of non-printing characters activated? (That's the
backwards 'P' in the Home tab of the Ribbon.) If not turn that on and see if
you can see anything at all on the page? If you can, does the text have dots
under it?
How about if you copy what you can select, open a new document, then use the
"Paste special" entry from the menu on the "Paste" button (also Home) tab.
Select the "unformatted Text" entry. Does that give you the text (without any
formatting)?
Yes, I still have the old computer.
OK, don't throw it away,yet...
