I think I would be inclined to update your antivirus measures too as this
does not sound like the result of any normal corruption.

If you have a bunch of y's that file is gone. Period. At least I've
never heard of anything that could save it. Have you tried taking
the file to your local computer tech company and ask them if they
can do anything? It won't be free tho.

So there is no way to do a repair? I have heard about a convert to
text function.

I wrote several documents in MS Word 2002, and up until recently
all the teext would appear as saved. Now for some reason, all the
text has been substituted with the letter y. Does anyone have
thoughts on what might be
causing this, and a possible solution.

Thanks.
