Your CapsLock key is broken too. Either that, or you are
deliberately SHOUTING at the people from whom you ask help, which is probably not the best approach.

Try looking at your screen to see what you are writing before asking us for
help  Either that, or fix your damn Caps Lock. |

THANKS. PAUL Test whether the computer where you're opening this file is set to "Recover Text from any File" (in the File | Open dialog). Other than that: don't save to disk (I assume you're talking "good ol' floppy" here), but save to harddisc and copy the file over.

Hmmmmmmm.........I'm not really gettin' what you mean, but maybe I should
explain a little more thoroughly. When I create a document in Word and save it to, for example, My Documents, when I go to open it with a double left click, I get that jibberish bunch of Ys. If I right click and Open With Word, I get the document as written. Now one other time that I can't open a Word file is if I get one in an wmail. There I have no right click choice. If you understood my problem in the first place, would you explain in a little more depth your answer please? Thanks, M. "Robert M.

It sounds as if some other application is associated with the .doc file
type. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm -- Suzanne S.
