How can I translate these...scripts???

Question

I made resume for a family member and I emailed it to myself as an attachment. When I got home to open the file it wasn't showing me the resume, it was showing me weird looking "scripts". The file was made in Mircrosoft word 2003. So I downloaded the Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 and it still showed me the same scripts.

Here are what the scripts look like :`PKÙ'~S8û\ª_qÕápÃÜ=òùËfx||Ô:ßLÐþzzrø7...

What can I do to translate the scripts?? I don't want to send the resume through copy and paste because then all the formatting will... de-format itself. lol

Answer 1

If it's made in Word'03 then email to some one who has it and then he/she can just send you the text then reformat it.

OR if you found a faster way GL.

Answer 2

If the file is in .doc format then you should be able to view it with the word viewer. If it isn't in .doc format, then its not a word document. The problem here is probably the word viewer, so i would install a program called Abi word, and see if its the viewer's problem.

Here is the link for it: http://www.abisource.com/downloads/abiwo...

Try to open it with that, and if it still doesn't work, then the file is corrupted. You will have to email it to yourself again, and try again.
