My friend used WOrd 2003 on the same PC to write his essay. He saved it last night, now hes opened it up again and it's come up with a loada crap that looks like this:

⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪ ⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪⨪䒈〱(᭘���԰ꏄۄ��ᛜᛞ��耏ᛜᛜ��ŊŊᛜᛜ耏ᛝᛝ��ᛝᛝ䒈〱(ᮃ�� �԰ꏄۄ��ᛝᛞ��耏ᛝᛝ��ᛝᛝ耏ᛝᛝ�

What happened?

All I can tell is that it may have something to do with language settings or charachter encoding. I have no clue how to fix it though =/

Its been saved in the wrong format hun "sometimes MSO will do this for you and other things ! "thats why i don't use MSO any more, like many others", to slow, to many bits of junk you will never need and its foot print is way to big, --- soz bill its Cr*P "IMHO"
