Text appears as squares
I have a very important document that has saved very strangely. When i saved
it, it looked fine, but then when i tried to open it, all the text is replaced with little blank white squares. All there is now, are little blank squares. I have tried text recovery, but what i end up with after that is just a blank word document. I have tried changing the font, but all that happens is that the squares change to other different quares, meaning that if i change it from arial to arial blak, the quares become thicker. Can anyone help me solve this problem. It is very important i recover this document. Please please please can anyone help?? |

Hi mitov,
It sounds as if: A) you're opening the files in Word's 'recover text' mode. Check File|Open and make sure that the 'All Word documents' option in the 'Files of type' tab is active; B) you're opening the files with a text editor rather than Word. If so, use Word or Wordpad; or C) you saved the files with a '.txt' extension. If so, try changing the file extension back to '.doc'. Cheers "mitov" wrote in message ...
