Hi Jeff,
Already looked in "Tools Options Compatibility Font substitution"?
The document could be damaged. But maybe you can rescue something with the
above dialog, or by searching for the strange font and replacing it with
Times or something.
If you get gibberish by changing the font, it's likely that Word got
confused between normal (Unicode) encoding, and the special proprietary
encoding used for symbol fonts. There's a macro somewhere in the MS
Knowledge Base that converts from the latter to the former, and sometimes
can fix things.
Regards,
Klaus

I have a document that I created with Times New Roman on one computer, but
when I open it on another, it is gibberish. I tried it on yet another, and
it opened with the font "TGEQA", but I cannot change the font back to
anything else without getting gibberish. Is there any way to recover this
and change the font back?
Thanks
