Default Word attachment unreadable

When I receive an email with a word doc attachment from a hotmail account it
is "code" .
Sample MX2T```X`8FIB:OL?^Q\````````````````````````)!!8`( CP``)EU``"9
M=0``X24```````````````````````````````````````#__ P\`````````
M``#__P\```````````#__P\``````````````````````(@`` ````(H"````
M````B@(``(H"````````B@(```````"*`@```````(H"````` ```B@(``!0`Sample end.
I tried forwarding to alternate email, I reinstalled office. I searched
here for similiar problems but found no solution. Any suggestions on
something else to try would be appreciated. Thank-you

I've never seen it quite like that, but whenever a Wordfile comes up
badly through an email, the usual solution is to zip it before attaching
it. Some mailservers (or email clients) seem to think the attachment was
"text" and try to encode it badly, I guess.

Greetings

Thanks, your answer got me on the road to a solution. Had to place doc into a
folder then zip the whole thing, zipping and attaching just the doc still
gave me junk, better than not zipped but, still not usable. Thanks again
