converting or encoding

[jewels]

I downloaded a document and i cant figure out if it needs to be converted or
encoded. All I know is I can't read it.

Explain what you mean by "I can't read it."

 

[jewels]

it's not english. its encoded i guess. When i went to open the doc it brought
up some deal about converting and then ask me to choose the text encoding so
i could read it. none of them changed it where I could read it. Its an
application but looking at it you would never know it

Explain what you mean by "I can't read it."

Its an application but looking at it you would never know it

Actually, looking at the sample you posted, that is exactly what I would
think.

Is it a document, or an application?

Do you have a filter installed that will accommodate the document type that
you are trying to open? e.g. are you trying to open a Word 2007 document in
Word 2003 without having installed the compatibility pack?

I downloaded the document from
http://www.pfizerhelpfulanswers.com/pages/misc/Default.aspx
I have 2007 student edition. I don't have any idea about the document.

 

[Graham Mayor]

If its a Word document in DOC format then it is corrupt!
If it is a Word document in DOCX format then you either need Word 2007 or
the compatibility pack - and if that won't open it, it too may be corrupt.
If neither then we would need to know what the document format was before
advising you how to open it and so far you haven't done that.
My guess is it's DOCX.
From where did you obtain it?

The 'documents' linked from that page appear to be PDF format. Word has no
way of handling those. You need Adobe Reader - a free download.
