How can I open a document created in Word almost 20 years ago?
I am trying to open a word document created around 1988. The first half is
readable, the second half gibberish. I have tried to use converters. This is from when word used "style sheets" for formatting. I don't mind re-formatting manually if necessary, but how can I get rid of the gibberish characters and find the text that should be there underneath? |

The old Word for DOS converters are no longer available for download
from the Microsoft website, but you can get them from Word MVP Graham Mayor's website http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm . Jonathan wrote: I am trying to open a word document created around 1988.
