Default Alt characters

I have an "AltCharacater" doc. When I open the doc with Word2003, the
table shows Alt codes and also their equivalent special characters.

Now when I open the same AltCharacter.doc, it prompts "File Conversion -
Alt Character" box on the screen and all look gibberish.
Something caused this problem. Please advise me how to fix this problem.
OS is WinXP Pro -SP2 and I use Office Suite 2003. Roman

Hi Roman,

Have you checked the file type in "File Open"?

The doc might be damaged. If you mail it to me as an attachment (zipped up
if possible), I might have a look.

If I understand the objective of your AltCharacter.doc, maybe you could use
the file you'll find as an attachment he

Hi Klaus,

Please take a look at the attachment.
I printed it out about a month ago. Now, all came out gibberish, illegible.
Please advise me.

Regards,

Roman

Klaus, I sent the Alt.doc as an attachment to your personal email account.
It seems that you did not receive it.
I today found out that the Alt.doc was indeed corrupted.
I pulled out the original Alt.doc from my archive. That was fine.
Thank you again.

Regards,

Craig
