File corruption prevention/recovery

A

AMY

I have recently tried to open several word documents that had been saved in
rich text format, but when they opened, what appeared was musical note
symbols instead of my text. I've been using Word for many years and this
seems bizarre. Any ideas about how to prevent this and recover these
documents?

I did update my version of Office, but it doesn't make sense that the newer
software couldn't read the older documents properly, and these were documents
saved to my hard drive, not a disk or flash drive. I'm stumped!
