Default Received .doc file. Opens in unreadable font. How to read.

Received a file attachment in Outlook with a .doc extension and the Word logo
before the document name. When I try to open the file it opens Microsoft
Word, then shows a small window with the documents contents seen in a font
that is mostly symbols and a message on top that says "Select the encoding
that makes your document readable". But none of the offered choices of
encoding make the document readable.

How can I read this document?
