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.

Did you create the document in Office 2003 or 2007? If the latter see if

Hi Graham

The file was created in MS Office 2003 and I am trying to open it in MS
Office 2003. I have also tried to open the same file in MS Office 2007 but
the text is not in readable format.

In that case it appears to be corrupt
