Default An apparent corrupted file. How can I recover it?

Hi ?B?QW5pc2lv?=,

I forgot to mention that I've already asked my
colleague to send the file back and that I couldn't open the file with
word2003. The problem seems to be with the Word2003. Something might have
happened with the Word configuration after I saved the file. Even the copy I
received back from my colleague can not be openned by word2003. Strange, that
this very same file can be openned by WordPerfect but the recover option of
word is n ot able to recover anything that makes sense. I thought repairing
office installation would bring word2003 back but has not. I'm thinking about
uninstalling word and installing it again to see if I can open this file.

If this is the only file you can't open, then I doubt the problem is with Word.
More likely it's something in the file. Could your Word 2000 colleague try
saving the file as a "web page" and also in RTF format, then send you both
files? Can Word 2003 open either of them?
