Word File Conversion Iftikhar Ahmad 12/30/2008 5:33:01 PM Hi I have created a MS Word document in Office 2003, after some time I tried to open the file in MS Office 2003 but the dialog box asking about the "Encoding that makes the document readable" option appears. I have created the documented in English but now I dont know how to retrieve the data as it appear in some unreadable format. Hoping to receive some help. Cheers.
