recover older word files
I have a word file that must have come from the previous version of Word. I
am currently using Office 2003 for Students and Teachers. No matter what I try I can't get anything but gibberish. 1. I tried open and repair 2. I tried recover text from any file. All I get is this: Ý6F¶ÊöŽ 7ÜËÕhç)^~s©Çm¾øxó *#¦ û¹G*öÕl&ã; »± c,9ÛwÜâÆï&ÇÔ EÔ&*W˪é\Æ+l Ügì\ ¡F2d!õ³Ñwå©ŽÙS òC $,' Anyone having any ideas as wto what else to try would be greatly apreciated. -- Terri |

recover older word files
This file has always been onmy computer. It was never trasnferred to a
floppy. If anything it was restored from an external hard drive along with the rest of the file folder items. It was a word document from the start, and I don't understand how it got corrupted. -- Terri "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: There likely is no way. -- Suzanne S.

recover older word files
On the General tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Confirm conversion
at Open." Then try to open the file. What file type does Word think it is? If it's for a *much* older version of Word, it's possible the required converter isn't installed. -- Suzanne S.

I had already checked that box. This is a file that was created in 2001 on
the previous version of Word. I don't understand why it won't open. -- Terri "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: On the General tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Confirm conversion at Open."
