Hi Venkat,

When you use the File Open dialog, pay special attention to the "Files of
type:" dropdown at the bottom of the dialog. If it says "Recover text from
any file", change it to "Word documents" or "All files".

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/RecoverText.htm for more
information.

Hi,

I use win98 with ms office 2000 in my office for 50 computers. All the
systems are in 2000 domain. Users type word douments and save it in
the domain. Some times while typing the file, the content of the file
gets changed automatically... which i have copied and pasted below.
This happens for all users, but rarely. I want to prevent this
because it wastes their precious time. I have scanned all machines
for virus and all machines are virus free....could anyone help me to
solve this problem...
