Word File Conversion

[Iftikhar Ahmad]

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
http://www.gmayor.com/Problems_opening_2007_docs.htm
is the problem.

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

Hi Graham

thanks for the help, the URL you provided is quite useful but still
unfortunately I was unable to get the result.

Even the last resort "Recover Text from any file" did not work.

Nevertheless many thaks for ur help.

Cheers
