Microsoft Word Encoding Problem

[NewsboysGurl91]

Okay, so I used to have Microsoft Word 2007 but then my dad changed Microsoft
back to Microsoft Word 2003. Unfortunately, some of the other Microsoft Word
documents I didn't make compatible with Microsoft 2007 don't open correctly.
When I click on those documents it says File Conversion...Select the
enconding that makes your document readable. None of them make my document
readable. However, I did click on one of them to try it out and it looks
something like this:
��ëªëŽºå¶šìµ…鲻ꖭ㓕Ⳋ䊿頗Ýæ¢èŠ’ì¾›ï½ïŸ½á‰¿ì’–ᒞ䧩栓ëˆê¨•êŠžà£¸ìŠ­íœ‘蘧䬩좸㮷ì²íŒ á¤í‰„脲ݕⓟ쥦ë¡ä¨‘맸﹘䡱ᙒꟈᯌ...(this is Unicode btw).
I don't know how to fix this. Can someone please help me? Thanks so much!!!
