Default Weird characters in an old Works focument - removing them..?

I have an old Works document I would like to convert to Word 97-2003 format.
When I open it in Word, it shows a lot of cryptic characters. Does anybody
know of a simple way to remove them? (such as: ^,¨, È, ) in between normal
sentences. I've tried to copy the entire text to Notepad / Wordpad, but
without any luck.

Thanks.
