Gibberish replaced text
I recently moved one of my files on a usb key, and when I reloaded the
document and loaded it, the letters were replaced by a squared symbol. I read one of the posts which said to push ctrl+*, when I did that the text then changed to what looks like a y with two dots above it. Can someone please help me recover this document so that I can read it. Time is of the essence. Thank You. |

I realized that it went from the squared symbol to the y symbol because I
pushed the show/hide paragraph breaks button. However, I still haven't been able to recover the original text...as per message below.

Without specifics about where & how it came from one place to another it's
impossible to be sure, but what you describe sounds like either a missing font/character or language issue. It *could* also be corruption or anything in between, but you don't even mention what version(s) of Word is/are involved. If you haven't been able to resolve it as yet, have a look at this site & repost: http://word.mvps.org/FindHelp/Posting.htm -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Camel777" wrote in message ...
