Word document won't open?
When I attempt to open a Word Document from either the Desktop or in My
Documents a dialogue box appears with the heading File Conversion - followed by the file name which ends in .doc. Below this it reads 'Select the encoding that makes your document readable and three options; Windows (Default); MS-DOS and Other encoding. The Windows is automatically highlighted. Whatever I try to do to resolve the issue the document always opens in unreadable form? I don't understand what has gone wrong here. I have backed up my Files to disk and they open with no problem - except for once or twice. This problem has never occured before. I have installed Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and have Windows XP. Is there someone that can help a frustrated yet incredibily patient computer user? I would appreciate any assistance to my concern. Thank you. |
