HOw to decrypt a word doc
Check what's showing in the 'Files of type' drop down on the File Open
dialog. What you're seeing is what you get if you open a file using the wrong format. If all else fails, try the 'Recover text from any document' option.

HOw to decrypt a word doc
Well what you are saying is to head to the File menu then click on Open Tab,
after that a small window opensup, allowing me to choose the file I want to open. I can select the type of the document which I want to open on word, right? Now when if I select any option there, Rich Text Format, Web Pages, etc etc. I will be only able to open that kind of document, But the file I have is in a .doc format. I saw the properties of the file and it was written that the file was a .doc file.and thats for sure. So I guess doing that dosen't solves my problem, I am Damn sure about the file that its a doc file, or in other sence you can say that there is some text written in the file, but it is encrypted,not by password, but by symbols. I can only see different sortta symbols like ^$-_ etc. . . I already told you that I have tried to save the file in different formats, using Save As option, in the File Menu. So that may be it could solve my problem, as if I open the newly saved file, and get the text before me, but all was in vain. So now I guess you may tell me some other way to view the file, I shall be VERY VERY GREATFUL to you, coz its really imp. "Jezebel" wrote: Display the File Open dialog.

HOw to decrypt a word doc
Dear Mr. Suzanne!
I tried The recover text option, the text written before using the option was some what as follows: " A.P. MOLLER Ÿ ¤ ˜ œ Ÿ ¦ Ž I Ž £ ¥ Ÿ ¦ Ž ¤ ¦ ¤ œ ¢ ¢ Ž ¥ ƒ § ¤ ¡ ó œ ¦ œ ¦ £ ¥ š ¦ ¦ ƒ ž ¤ ¡ ó ¤ ¦ Ÿ £ ž œ ¥ ž œ ¤ ˜ œ Ÿ ¦ ¥ ¤ ¦ Ÿ * ž š Ÿ œ ¤ ³ Ÿ £ ¢ ¡ œ ¥ ¤ ¢ œ Ž ¤ ¦ ¤ ž Ÿ ¤ ¡ œ § ¤ ¤ ¦ ¥ é ¦ § ¢ ¥ Ÿ ˜ ž ¦ ¥ Ž œ Ÿ ˜ ž ¦ ¥ é ³ œ § œ Ž Ÿ ž ¤ 1 2 3 4 5 ¤ ¢ Ž ¦ ¥ * ¥ £ ¤ ¡ œ ¥ œ ž Ÿ Ÿ ¤ ¡ 3 Ÿ Ž ž œ § œ Ž œ § ¤ ¤ ¦ ¥ ó 3 Ž £ ¥ Ÿ ¦ Ž ¤ ž ž ¥ œ ž ˜ § Ž ¤ ¡ é 4 8 16 32 ? ¤ ¢ 64 ¦ ¥ ¥ £ ¤ ¡ œ ¥ œ ž Ÿ Ÿ ¤ ¡ ˜ 64 ž œ § œ Ž œ § ¤ ¤ ¦ ¥ ó " These are the few starting Paragraphs of the text and after trying the recover text Option, The text changed to : " A.P.

Sorry man I couldn't get ur point what you want me to do, I point to File menu Open menu Than what ???? and what did you ment by " If all else fails, try the 'Recover text from any document ", how can I recover text from any document. . . If you allow me I can send you the file I have you can have a look at it and sort out any way to properly view the file. Are you ok with that ?? "Yasser Shahzad Qureshi" Yasser Shahzad wrote in message ... I have a word file, when I open that file there are symbols written, I guess the txt is encrypted or what... But I want to view the text, so kindly tell me how can I view the txt.....I tried to select all the text and change the font but nothing happened, then I tried to save the file using Save As option, in different formats, but nothing happened even... So if there is any way to view the file's contents, plese tell me ...... |
