Word 97 weird looking symbols on monitor
For the last 7 days, when I tried to open a document made from Word 97, it
took very long to open. Now, today, all of my Word documents ( around 150 Ea. ) have weird looking symbols spread throughout the document while looking at the monitor. The symbols look similar to a symbol you would see on a sheet of music. However, when I print the document, it prints fine without the weird symbols. When I install a backup disk with a Word Document, the symbols appear on the monitor. Can ANYONE help me get rid of these weird symbols ? Please !! |
