Default a window"File conversion" pop up in Word Docu. unable to read, he.

Lately When I open my Word Doucment, a window "File Conversion" pop up and
asked me to select the encoding to make my douc. readalbe, and nothing works.
That has not happened before. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the help in advance.

Are you sure the document you are trying to open is a Word document? If so,
try disabling the conversion prompt (Tools | Options | General: Confirm
conversion at Open) and see what happens.

In that case, either it's not really a Word file, or the file has become
corrupted.

Could there be possibly any other way I could retrieve this document? What
if I use another computer would that work? or is the problem the file itself?
Im sure its a word document but now im starting to think its corrupted. How
could this have happened?
