small squares instead of text....
My friend was typing a 2500 word essay using office 97. She then decided to
continue with it on her husbands laptop, which is a lot faster. He uses Office XP When she had finished, she saved it back on to disc and then transferred the floppy to her somputer. When she tried to open it, Word said to read it she needed the Office 2000 Proffessional disc (i got confused here as i wondered why it hadn't asked for the XP disc). Anyway, i installed Office XP on her system and opened the file (from a copy on the hard drive - earlier comments in this NG) All that appeared was a page of small squares. I believe the file has become corrupted somewhere but can the text be recovered?? It won't open in notepad, wordpad, works or any of the other programmes. Sorry if it all sounds confusing. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Martin |
